You get hit by life in college like a tornado! Things start to happen all of a sudden, you’re living alone now, and you’re staying up late consuming too much coffee. Hold on, maintaining your safety at your PG hostel comes first. So, you have to turn your room into a cozy little fortress where you can chill without worrying.
Things to check before moving into your PG :
1. Read the Contract: Before signing in, Picking a PG spot is like finding a perfect outfit from the selection. Go for a PG which is near to your colleges and workplaces. So that you won’t need to spend a long time commuting and at the end of the day you will feel tired. Read the contract thoroughly, to find out if there are security personnel to patrol the building.
Are strategically located CCTV cameras in common areas provided? These are procedures you want to know ahead of time so that you can make an informed decision.
2. Ask Questions, If any Doubt: Don’t feel shy! Ask the management questions on security during your PG visit. If they allow visitors or not, what is their process of registering guests? Do they have an emergency policy in place? Knowing the evacuation plan or fire safety measures will help at critical moments.
Safety Checks inside of your room walls :
3. The Door: The first point of contact with anyone will most likely be your room’s door. This should include a good heavy-duty type of locks, not just good-looking knobs. Consider investing in a good quality portable door lock to help you feel better and secure about your security.
4. The Windows: Windows is an easy-access point, so begin with rooms that have better and steadier window locks. For more security, consider window stoppers. These hardware items let the window open several inches—only, thereby making forced entry quite a task. Last but not least, never forget to close your curtains or night blinds to get complete privacy.
5. Find your Roomies: Having a roommate can boost your security in many ways. Find someone with whom you are comfortable living with and discuss safety measures together. Sharing a spare key or knowledge of each other’s whereabouts can give one an extra measure of protection.
6. Tech it Out : Technology can be your friend if you use it right. Throw in a portable door alarm that you can turn on in case you are not feeling safe. New types of smart lights that can be controlled by mobile or can be programmed to turn on and off remotely create the illusion of someone being home while you’re out.
7. Strategize Your Space: As much as aesthetics matter to you, It is also important to personalize your room strategically. Keep your valuables in a safe, lockable drawer, or get a small safe installed. Personal photos or personal memorabilia guarantee a sense of possession and keep the intruders away from your space.
Building a Secure Community:
8. Know your neighbors: Take time to introduce yourself to your fellow room residents and the PG staff members. Having a bond with your neighbors may add to a sense of community, and they may often act as your eyes and ears when you are away from your room and give you insights about it.
9. Always Trust Your Gut: If something does not feel right, chances are it is not. Never hesitate to report any suspicious nature to your PG management or even the authorities if need be. Better to be safe than sorry.Never avoid your instincts!
10. Be Street Smart: General precautions apply here, as within the confine of your PG as well. Let no stranger into your room; keep your door locked every time you leave-even if it’s just for a little while. Try not to put up too much about your valuables on social media platforms .Take good care of your surroundings while returning home late at night.
