Rape and what is called acquaintance rape [or “date rape”] and sexual assault are extremely difficulty to imagine happening. However, some experts believe that women are most at risk in their first month at school. Estimates are that as many as one in ten to one in four women are assaulted in some manner during their four college years.
Although MIT has had an extremely low rate of reported rapes over the years, there is a great deal of awareness about this crime. Information and programs about personal safety, acquaintance rape, and sexual assault are presented during Orientation. If you would like additional information on our crime prevention programs and services, you may call Student Support Services at 617.253.4861 or the MIT Police at 617.253.1212.
