A few words on safety You will likely be and feel very safe in and immediately around campus and the downtown area. There are just a few places we would recommend that you be careful and most particularly attentive to your belongings. Train stations (Central Station, Cadorna, Lambrate, etc.) and underground stations and TRAINS are target areas for thieves and pickpockets. Make sure your backpack is properly closed; your money and ID documents are inaccessible or invisible to anybody. You may want to keep your passport, credit cards, etc., separate from your cash. If you take your passport and other sensitive documents, we suggest you keep them in a money belt on you and not in your purse, backpack, etc. Remember that it is not a good idea to be out alone at night and take precautions
