Every student knows where there is a great place for a party nearby. Campuses are usually flooded with upcoming attractions and events at pubs close by. Every business in the area will seize any opportunity for advertising their food specials or Saturday bands which will be performing. This will attract attention from students who will gather for a good time. There are unfortunately also many risks involved when having a good time late at night. Drinking and driving, fighting or even muggings could be common on these evenings. Students need to be aware that the threats are real. There could be a criminal around the corner or a car accident at the stop street. It is always important to be aware of the risks and act responsibly.
