No worries, if anyone says screw your window shut, dont do that, Would be bad news in a fire.

also when you buy that stick to wedge your window shut. save the 3 foot section and put it next to your bed. if anyone does come through the window hit them with it. one stick, two jobs.

I wouldn;t worry too much , folks like this have been around allston /brighton for ever and usually target the easiest places. since so many drunk college kids leave doors and windows open. An ounce of prevention goes a long way in this situation.

If you want a nice club and you don't want to spend for a bat, an axe handle is plenty sturdy, fits the hand well, and dirt cheap. I'd take that over a cheap dowel.

axe handles a solid choice, I mentioned the 2x2" strap since they would have extra left from the window prop. Frankly I wouldnt want my arm/ hand smashed by either. stay safe

Women are more likely to have a weapon like that used against them than they are to be able to defend themselves with it. Not a great idea.
