Don't know your situation. Is it safer to ride to the Uni? Is the route to the college really dangerous?
I was wondering. Get a lock with two keys. Leave one key with the lock and wait for someone to lock their bike up with it
Some places do provide secure bike lockers, generally to rent. However a good lock is handy if one ever needs to park elsewhere.
Here, our university is in the middle of town with really good bike access and on-campus housing if one wishes.
The community college is on the other side of a big hill with primarily one, four-lane road getting to it, and no housing. I've done the hill a thousand times, and it isn't bad, but it does look daunting to the uninitiated.
I hope the OP's college has better access.
