How to keep important documents and credit cards money safe while in college dorm?
You can get a safe deposit box at the bank if you are very worried about your roommate stealing it, otherwise I would say just keep everything in your wallet and keep your wallet on you at all times. Make sure you lock your door even when you are in the room.
Reply:Yes, get something that you can bolt down from the inside of the safe, and make sure they can't hacksaw the bolts off from underneath either. Don't carry money unless you absolutely have to. I would also make it somewhat of a point to tell others that you "never have any money". That will be one way that you will be able to tell who your friends are~ A safe deposit box nearby is not a bad idea either, but you are stuck with the bank's business hours..
Reply:I had a big drawer that had a lock on it... so that worked well for me. Is there a way for you to put a padlock on a closet or drawer? The hardware should be easy to find. If you have any issues installing it, dorm management should be able to assist, as it's reasonable to have at least one spot to keep items safe.





If not - keep your wallet in your pocket - and under your mattress or pillow at night!
