Thanks for all the help guys!
I'm changing my perspective on whether i even want to bike to school now because there is such a large risk of my bike getting stolen.
Would you use a $1000 bike to commute though?
I'm going to ask all my professors if i can keep the bike in their room because my main reason for getting a bike was to commute on it.
It was after that thought that i realized i would probably want to ride it for fun thus leading me to up my budget to get bike i won't need to upgrade for 3+ years.
