Short answer
On Help Me you can ask a neighbor to walk with you to your car from a library, mall, or ramp in Fargo or Moorhead. Name a public meeting point, like the union doors or a mall entrance. It is company, not security. For an official campus escort, call campus public safety. In danger, call 911.
The facts, in one place
- Name a public meeting point, like an entrance or a lobby.
- It is company on a short walk, not security.
- Official campus escorts go through campus public safety.
- In danger, call 911.
The lots this metro actually uses
Campus ramps after a late class. West Acres when the stores have thinned out. A Broadway garage. A lot at MSUM or Concordia. The commercial strip on 13th Avenue. You want someone to walk the distance with you, not a debate about streetlights in a group chat.
- A campus ramp after a late class.
- A mall lot after closing.
- A downtown garage after an event.
- A library lot on a winter evening.
Ask it as a neighbor walk
Post walk to the car and name a public meeting point if you want: the union doors, a mall entrance, the library steps. A neighbor can say yes, and a private chat opens. Your request shows as a rough area about 500 meters wide. You walk together in public and you are done. They are not a driver, a guard, or on a shift.
If it is more than a walk
If someone is following you, a threat is involved, or someone needs medical help, call 911 or campus police. NDSU, MSUM, and Concordia each have an official public safety number. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. You can report or block any member at any time.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Questions people actually ask
Yes, if someone says yes. For an official campus escort, call campus public safety instead.
Only if you want to, after someone says yes. A building entrance is a better meeting label.
A mall lot is a common public place for this ask. Meet inside a vestibule first if the lot looks empty.
