Students and nights out: staying in touch

Students often move between homes, halls, shared houses and nights out. Keeping in touch with people at home helps everyone feel more settled.

A new routine for a new term

Agree a simple plan

Decide when you will message home and what counts as a reason to call. Agree who you will contact if your plans change.

Nights out

Before you go out, tell a friend where you are heading and when you expect to be home. Keep your phone charged, and agree how you will get home before the evening starts.

Getting home

Choose transport you trust and plan the last part of the journey. If you are walking, use well-lit streets and stay where there are people.

Using a safety app

A safety app can help you share your journey and reach help with one tap. Set it up before the term starts so it is ready when you need it.
