YSU students watchful on walks

YOUNGSTOWN — The short walk from Youngstown State University residence hall to parking lot is more cautious, following the weekend robbery of two students.

“It’s kind of scary,” said Kathleen Kennedy, a business economics major and resident of the Cafaro House residence hall. “I’m just going to try to be a lot more careful, just try not to walk to my car alone.”

Kennedy and a few of her neighbors have agreed to use the buddy system when retrieving their cars from the parking lot, she said.
