Heading off to college could bring up mixed feelings of excitement, anxiety, and concerns about personal security. College offers a taste of freedom and independence, but it also means setting foot in an unfamiliar environment. As parents, you’d be naturally worried about your child’s safety. Here are some safety tech for college students that could give protection and peace of mind.
Asset Trackers
Tile Trackers and AirTags are devices that you can attach to your belongings and valuables like a backpack or bicycle, and find them in case you lose them or they get stolen and aid in recovering them. You can also use it to stay organized and keep track of your school stuff when staying in a condo that’s near universities like Pinery Residences.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
A carbon monoxide detector that is portable could be a good investment to detect the levels of the highly poisonous gas in the area. The levels of carbon monoxide rise due to poor ventilation or defective gas stoves and faulty heaters to prevent potentially dangerous situations.
Rechargeable Flashlight
Having a rechargeable flashlight around can be useful when you are going to dark places or a power surge happens in your dorm or condo. Rechargeable flashlights are stronger and brighter than most flashlights on cellphones.
Portable Car Jump Starters
If your car stalls, having a portable jump starter can help you a lot. They are the size of small power banks, have built-in flashlights and USB ports. This device can aid in jump starting your car, eliminating the need to wait for roadside service that could take hours to arrive.
Safety Alarm
A personal safety alarm you carry with you at all times is a great investment. The moment you feel like you are in danger or in threat of something dangerous, you could pull the pin off the alarm and it will emit siren lights and noise. You can use this as a get off me tool when someone may be harassing or following you or to alert anyone nearby and get immediate help.
