Trek carbon frames have a lifetime warranty. If you know the owner well, get the recepit off him and you should be OK. But why a carbon frame just to ride around campus?? If you dont have a good place to lock it up, chances are, your bike will be gone in two weeks....
I would always use my beater if I rode my bike to school.....
