What should one pay attention to when studying abroad? How to ensure safety?

A person studying abroad, safety naturally needs special attention, and the following related matters need special attention:

Do as Romans do in Rome.

First of all, in foreign countries, even in prosperous big cities, night is full of unsafe factors. Locals abroad know that they should not go out at night. Therefore, the living habits of domestic friends, such as talking in the middle of the night and being alone at night, must be changed.

Pay more attention when walking on the road. Don't play with your mobile phone or hold it in your hand.

If you see a crowd gathering, your first reaction is to walk around. Remember not to join in the fun!

In case of entanglement, hurry away and pay attention to whether you are being followed.

In case of robbery, life is the most important thing. Don't provoke each other. Eliminating disasters is a waste of money.

Don't trust strangers

It is undeniable that most foreign residents are kind, and hitchhiking is common. But for foreign students who are new here, we should not believe what strangers say, let alone accept food or drinks provided by strangers at will, even if they seem friendly. Whether black, white or Asian, or even alumni of the same school, we can't take it lightly. Because once the bad guys meet you, it's fatal.

Choose a safe residential area

The security situation in foreign cities varies from district to district, so try to live on campus or in areas close to schools, rich areas and so on. Go to slums and entertainment places with relatively poor public security. If you must go, keep a safe distance from strangers.

Protect your privacy.

With the soaring economic strength of the motherland, some China people frequently show off their wealth overseas, and many foreigners have formed the impression that "everyone in China has money", including those who are unscrupulous.

Even in China, when you are in a strange environment and you don't know the people around you, you should protect your privacy. Keeping a low profile and not showing off your wealth is king.

Remember the phone number of the campus police.

There are usually many 911 calls on campus. If you feel danger or emergency, you should call the police in time.
