Yeah, we also have a lot of these incidents around our campus as well. Rarely is it sexual assault, but they don't shy away from informing us when it does happen.
Our campus is really big on making sure its students are safe, so whenever a crime happens -- even if a student/faculty is in no way involved -- they still notify us via email and text.
They also give reminders to visit our Wellness Center and our HotLines in case other students see something or are victims of crime.
My campus is located in an area that used to be very dangerous before they cleared those criminals out and reinnovated it. But some of those unsavory characters are still around.
I'd recommend to research more on your campus's opportunities for Wellness, Safety, and Support system. Most campuses should have them, but not a lot of students know where they are and how to use them. So make sure you research and talk with people just to know how to use them.
