Because my campus is like 7 miles there and 7 back i kinda want performance and lack of theft... lol
If you can figure out a way that the bike doesn't leave your sight for more than 5 minutes while on campus, go ahead and get a nice bike. If you are planning to just hook it up to the community bike rack out in front of the Student Union Building, get a cheap beater. OR, do both. Get a beater for commuting and get a nice bike to ride for pleasure. Just make sure that the nice bike is locked up in your dorm or apartment when you are not there.
