πŸŽ“ SAFETY TIPS FOR STUDENTS 🍹🚫

Your safety always comes first! Whether you’re out socializing or relaxing with friends, be alert and stay smart.

πŸ‘‰ DO NOT accept any drinks from strangers. The person buying could expect something in return.
πŸ‘‰ Stay close to home, your residence, or campus. This makes it easier to reach out for help if you need it.
πŸ‘‰ Never leave your drink unattended. If you have, don’t drink it - order a fresh one!

Your wellbeing matters. Make smart choices and look out for your friends too. πŸ’ͺ
If you ever feel unsafe or unsure, contact your Canefields Residence team immediately.

πŸ”’ Stay safe. Stay smart. Stay strong.
