Ask Kanpur Traveling to Kanpur.

I'd be visiting IIT Kanpur for a short visit recently. But as a girl I am a bit scared after reading the news paper. I know that the campus would be fine and I don't plan on getting out of the campus much, but my only concern is that both while reaching kanpur and getting back home, my train timings are a bit odd...as in late at night. Any suggestions on what mode of transport would be safer for going from the station to the IIT campus?

Thank you in advance, I don't mean to imply that kanpur is especially unsafe, but for someone not from UP, I'm just a little apprehensive.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Really grateful for them. And for the people saying that why I'm scared and what exactly I have read in the media, all I want to say is that I am a woman who would be traveling alone to a new place that's not exactly known to be super safe for women in general. And not as unsafe as other cities is still quite unsafe. Nonetheless, appreciate all of your suggestions.
