The consensus in the Commuting forum whenever someone asks about what bike for commuting to classes is two bikes- a beater for the commute and a nicer one for the weekend/joyrides. Seems that universities attract their fair share of bike thieves .
A new Giant will attract thieves just as readily. Maybe OP should consider the ugliest functional bike he can find.
