Dorm Security on Campus

Dorm security may not always be as tight as students and parents would like to think. Let's face it, college students are often strapped for cash so the temptation of making off with someone's CD collection might rear its ugly head. If you're concerned about dorm security, what can you do? I highly recommend visiting Security On Campus , a non-profit site with a plethora of useful information.

If you're just looking for a small security system suitable for a single room setting, portable alarms (often popular with travelers and apartment/condo owners) may do the trick. You could also look into door and/or window sensors.

x10.com offers a lot of inexpensive cameras and DIY security kits.
