Tufts is committed to providing all of its members with a safe campus. If you want to discuss a safety concern, contact the Tufts University Policy Department (TUPD) or refer to our Emergency Contact information. Added tips to keep safe include:
Be aware of your surroundings at all time - in particular, do not allow yourself to be distracted by your cell phone
Try to travel, especially at night, with others
If traveling alone at night, tell a friend or roommate where you are, where you are going, and your expected arrival time
Familiarize yourself with campus emergency "blue light" boxes (see photo to left for an example) which will put you in touch with a TUPD officer quickly
Guard your personal property (including laptops, cell phones, wallets, backpacks and bicycles) using these personal property safety suggestions from TUPD
Take care not to drink excessively, and never drive or operate a motor vehicle if you have consumed alcohol
