<p>Many here have suggested speaking to young women about sexual safety and to young men about consent, but the opposite is important as well. Men are very often victims of sexual assault, and it is often unreported. College-aged boys themselves are often unaware of this, so I would remind them to be a bit cautious and above all, let them know that they would be supported in reporting anything.</p>
<p>More on the side of sexual safety for young women, there’s a great deal of focus on remaining self-aware at parties, perhaps avoiding fraternities, etc, which is undoubtedly crucial. Nonetheless, the majority (57%) of rapes in college occur on dates.</p>
<p>ETA @poetgrl: Most, perhaps, but not all! I had fewer than 10 drinks in 4 years of college, total, lived on a party floor all four years and loved it. I think with boundaries between you and any drinking friends of yours, it’s manageable. This is definitely harder with roommates who drink and who may make a mess of your room, but if a single room is not far in the future, I wouldn’t want to let go of good friends for the two or so nights a week that they might be drinking.</p>
