As a college student that lives near campus I have never really had to worry about safety
when driving to campus other than just general driving safety.

I consider this to be a great benefit and stress reducer.

Although I do realize that most college students do not live so close to campus.

This means that they will be driving from long distances to their new housing
arrangement, whether it is a dorm or an apartment.

By informing your child of these tips you can worry less about them while they are at
school.

The first tip to help ensure a safe trip for your college student is to check their vehicle.
![Page 8: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This includes checking tire pressure, fluids, lights, and general areas of interest.

This can reduce the chance that your child gets stranded in an unknown location
without a functioning vehicle.

Another important tip is to make sure that there is an accident kit in the vehicle.
![Page 11: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Heaven forbid that anything should happen that would require your college student to
need to use this kit.
![Page 12: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
However, having the kit and not needing it is safer than needing the kit and not having it.
![Page 13: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Drive to the campus location with your college student before classes start and
everything gets crazy.
![Page 14: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This will help you and your child know the area that they will be living in for the next
four years a lot better.

This is also beneficial to parents when they come to their student’s campus for Parents
Weekend.
![Page 16: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tip number four is to remind your student of general driving safety.
![Page 17: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This includes remembering pedestrians.
![Page 18: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You may want to drill this into their head, especially if you come from an area with few
or no pedestrians.
![Page 19: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Also, remind your child to check local conditions.
![Page 20: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Driving to college includes a lot of the same driving techniques they use while driving in a
local area.
![Page 21: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
One of the most important tips is to remind them not to drink and drive.
![Page 22: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sadly, as parents you know that your child will be attending parties during their time at
school.
![Page 23: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
This means that they will be tempted to drink.
![Page 24: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
However, even if you can’t stop your college student from drinking you can always
remind them to find a safe way back to their dorm or apartment.
![Page 25: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This could include calling a cab or having a friend of their drive them home.
![Page 26: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The final tip that as parents you should make sure your child knows is that good grades
usually equal a discount on their car insurance.
![Page 27: College student tips](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070513/5883bbf91a28ab5c378b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
This signals your college student to do well especially if they are paying for their own
insurance.
