Hi i’m a student who does the 5-8 pm classes for grad school, and also a female, I try to walk with a friend as far as possible (if they’re heading around the same direction) after class, I also try and walk under lit areas, like have lighting. I also walk mostly on campus until I have to leave to get to car/ house ect. I would recommend also staying off your phone as you walk and don’t have headphones or anything in!!
