I too am a college student. The school also has a TT running on the north and southern ends of the campus. The city surrounding the school is a small white town full of elderly. The school's population (25,000) practically makes half of the small town's population!

I also have a mountain bike...well, had. I kinda roughed it up too far and now the main bearings are broken...work on that later. But, due to my bike I was able to travel all over the city. Knowing where certain sections of the city with less attention centered, will help you find peace in times of chaos.

There is a great mountain pass just south of campus that hikers/bikers usually frequent, a bike park under an underpass to the southeast corner on the river, a boat ramp on the northeast, the nearest city is about 10 miles away - only means of travel are crowded highways, large cities half an hour from north/southern directions.

Think of all these options before-hand, have a list made to position locations (NEARBY) and conceal them to your most closest friends/family member.

If something real dangerous were to happen. I would gather up a bunch of friends and go to the beach! But seriously, if something were to go down. I'm heading towards the river, then upstream for some good o' trout fly fishing carrying my phone + charger, of course.
