There are many ways to enhance your home’s security. While some options can be a bit expensive, like home security services and security cameras, some are very inexpensive and even free to you as a student at Ohio State!
Off Campus and Commuter Student Services has free- yes, FREE- window and door alarms for students at Ohio State University. Audible alarms can deter burglars from attempting to enter your home. Window and door alarms are powerful deterrence devices that create a loud ringing sound when triggered. A burglar is less likely to enter a home when a loud alarm alerts residents and neighbors of the burglar’s presence. Free window and door alarms are available for students at 3106 Ohio Union. It is recommended that you put an alarm on every window and door that is accessible from the ground floor; however, if you’d like to have a few more as backups or to put on upstairs windows or doors, you can take extra!
A burglar is also less likely to target a home that looks like it is occupied. A safety timer can turn your interior lights on and off throughout the night to give the appearance that someone is home. Free safety timers are available for students at 3106 Ohio Union.
These types of products can be purchased at home goods stores and can be delivered to your residence if coming to campus is not a safe option for you.
Other ways to prevent burglary can be found on Off-Campus and Commuter Student Services’ website https://offcampus.osu.edu/resources/safety/enhance-your-home-security/
