I don't know if this is just me, but when yall got ready for college did you ever worry about having a roomate that might steal or have a bunch of friends coming in and out of the dorm who might do the same?
I know there are some of yall out there who know yall got some nice ish (jewelry, kicks, laptops, clothes, etc.) and I wanted to know how yall handled it. Did u buy a safe or what?
I ask because I'm about to move into my dorm next semester and I KNOW I got some nice stuff, especially jewelry, and thought about buying a safe to protect it, but I don't want to buy this safe and then have my rommate/other people thinking like "WTH, she think her sh*t too good to leave out!?" I don't want my new roomate to think I automatically think she's going to steal.....any advice? Please and thanks in advance
When I was in school, I locked my things up in a trunk that stayed in the bottom of my closet, which also had a lock.
I wouldn't worry about shoes and clothes more than I'd worry about the laptop and jewelry. Safe bet is to take the jewelry you need and leave the rest at home. As for the laptop, buy a lock for it and see if you can get it insured.

I think a safe is good just in case. As long as you don't look crazy when doing it. My friend's freshman year roommate always rushed and put things away when she and I walked into the room. That was offensive.
But stealing is the least of your worries. My freshman year roommate was nasty and my sophomore year roommate was very friendly with the guys, got arrested for shoplifting, and did drugs. At least living on campus you can report this to the RA, living off campus my landlord was not exactly understanding.
