September is getting close, there’s a lot to think about over the course of this month. If you’re living in a college dorm or plan to be, your college dorm essentials might be the most important thing on your mind. There’s one essential that really is the most important of all. I’m not discrediting the rest of your college dorm checklist; I’m simply setting a priority. Personal safety and dorm room security, and that applies to off campus dwellings too, needs to be the top priority. Think about how much it would ruin your experience living at school if you had to suffer a break in, an assault, robbery, or worse still, a sexual assault.
The CDC, Center for Disease Control, has reported that 20% to 25% of women in college will experience an attempted or completed rape during their college years. This is a scary big number, but it doesn’t mean that you have to be scared. Being aware of what you can do to protect yourself and even avoid a bad situation is the best way to make sure you are not a victim. This college dorm essentials kit is called the Extreme College Survival Kit because it has the information and certain self defense tools that can really make the difference when it comes to surviving these extreme circumstances.The most important thing in this kit is The Extreme College Survival Booklet, containing these safety reports, College Rape Report, College and Campus Safety Tips, How to Secure Your Dorm or Apartment, Roommates, Safe Dating and it even has useful information for parents. Remember that knowledge is power, so the more knowledge you have the more power over your situation you have.
