FLINT, Michigan -- Kettering University student Brian Nichols had seen the campus e-mail alerts before -- a mugging, a break-in, warnings to be extra vigilant at night.

But the 2 a.m. phone call from a fellow student whose rental house had been broken into by an armed robber just a couple of blocks away had the most chilling effect.

"This term, it has hit closer to home. I'm to the point now where I feel like I have to get in my car and drive across the street instead of walking 100 feet," said Nichols, 21, of studying at Kettering's campus in the evening.
