For College Students

Living on a college campus can be great - late night dorm chats, freedom from your parents, new friends, and tons to do.  Even if you are a commuter to your college, college can open up a whole new world of exciting opportunities for you as you pursue your career and life goals.

Dating violence, date rape, stalking - these are all things that you as a college student may not prefer to think about.  However, with as many as one in four female students experiencing sexual assault over the course of their college career and 60% of acquaintance rapes on college campuses occurring in a casual or steady dating relationship, it's important that you stay informed on ways to protect yourself, practice safe dating, and know how and where to get help if you need it.  Additionally, you can use this page to help you discover ways you can get involved and join the cause to help eliminate dating violence all together.
