College Campus Knife carry/concealment

I never lived on campus while attending college. I resided with my family in Lawrence, MA and attended Merrimack College in North Andover, MA as a commuter. I didn't have to worry about nosy dorm mates or RA's snooping around and "accidentally finding" my knife in a shared room. As a commuter, I had a lot less to worry about and could easily explain the Gerber FS II that I EDC'd as a necessary tool for the part-time job that I had in a supermarket (opening boxes, etc.). Check to see if you are allowed to prepare meals in your dorm room or common area. Some colleges don't allow it because of the danger of fire. If your school doesn't allow it, then your "cooking knife" argument will not have much merit if you are accused of possessing weapons on campus.

Yes, we are allowed to prepare meals in the common area. I will keep all of my knives in a locked box when not in use, so I am not worried about anyone finding them. I'm only going to bring unintimidating looking knives as well, so as to avoid any trouble.

Use a Greenlee toolbox for the job. They are heavy-duty steel construction with recessed locking points that take standard padlocks. Get the 3' model and use it as a footlocker. This model takes a single padlock. it has handles and can easily be attached to a bedframe with a bicycle cable lock to secure it in place. Keep your knives, spare cash and other valuables in there, locked up and out of sight and you should be just fine. BTW, best of luck in your college career!:)
 
why the hell you need to bring a knife to school?
i much rather improvise. save you the trouble for getting caught with one.
lots of stuff can be use as a weapon in school....(hardcover txt books, metal ruler, rolled up paper...) wat i usually do is keep a metal pen handy in my pocket for impact device....thats it.

Why does a knife have to be carried as a weapon? The vast majority of the people carrying knives aren't carrying them as a weapon, they're carrying it as a tool. You can't cut a sandwich with a text book.
