RE: I let go for my safety.

That must have been a really scary and unsettling experience. I'm so sorry you had to go through that - no one should have to deal with being robbed and threatened like that, especially on their own campus.

I can only imagine how shaken up you must feel. I understand you didn't want to risk escalating the situation further when those guys had weapons. Your safety had to come first. I'm just glad you made it back to your room okay, even if you lost your phone and money.
