Does she have any method of defense? If not then she really should get some pepper spray. There is not much of a learning curve to using pepper spray, it is a point and shoot type of thing. And another good thing is that sometimes, just the presence of it will cause an unwanted person to back off (like most likely would have happened in this instance).

How many college age girls do you think have "training" in how to use pepper spray? Now how many do you think carry it?...

I think you are way off base thinking those are reasons not to carry it. Especially after you make a list of reasons that she should carry it. Heck, you probably should as well... I do.
