Ahead of National Best Friday Day, research by the student accommodation provider, UniHomes, has found a huge proportion of students check their friends to make it home safely after a night out.
To mark National Best Friend Day on Tuesday 8th June, UniHomes asked UK students how they kept each other safe while living away from home. When it comes to a night out on the town, it’s not unusual for friends to get separated or to head home alone.
59% of respondents stated they actively share their live location with friends while out and about to stay safe, with 84% following up to check they made it home safely.
Shropshire’s Harper Adams University ranks top, with Falmouth also home to an impressively low crime rate. The Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester ranked within the top three.
York, Buckinghamshire, Rose Bruford College, Bath, Royal Holloway, St Mary’s Twickenham, and Warwick also ranked within the top 10 safest university towns for students.
