I ride mine to school all the time. I carry my bike to class as well. The teachers were a bit subjective at first but I put it against a wall in the back so it stays out of the way. I catch flack from tool bags every once in a while, but I could care less. I am a bouncer at the local bar so most people know who I am as well. I ride it to work and stash it in the back of the bar also.
