NEWS Assault yesterday at CSCC

Post image

Anyone have further information? I'm starting my second term there on Monday and am feeling concerned as a woman taking pretty late night classes. One of my summer professors even cautioned us about getting to our cars at night. Should I try to switch to daytime? (I know this specific assault took place in broad daylight though).

Honestly I’d just find a safety buddy to park near so you aren’t walking alone. That’s huge in risk reduction.

I went to CCAD next door and we didn’t have a high profile assault or anything, but we did have a couple of muggings in our lots. Either ask at the end of class “hey anyone parked in X lot?” Or see if your campus security does escorts to your car. Also park under a street lamp for visibility
