************************************************
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR STUDENTS WHO LIVE OFF-CAMPUS
************************************************

Do you live in an older house which has been divided into apartments? If so, we would like to remind you to lock your exterior doors at all times and be sure that your exterior lights are lit at night. A concerned neighbor reported that some UB international students who live on Merrimac Street and who were recently robbed frequently neglect to lock the exterior door in the back of the house. Moreover, the neighbor reported that their exterior lights may be burned out because they no longer turn on.

If you live in an older house, it is very important that you lock your exterior doors and keep the outside lights in good order. For your own safety, please take this advice to heart!
