i've lived in dorms for about 4 ears, and the only thing you need to do to keep your stuff is this:
don't be dumb.
lock your stuff. don't bother with any fancy computer lockdown crap. no one's going to open your case. they'll either grab your case (not likely since it's probably huge) or ignore it.
my college town is medium in size: about 50k people total. it's smaller than the city i came from, but since I'm in the midwest it's bigger than a lot of the towns that students come from. People get used to not locking their homes and cars in small towns, then they come here and get robbed blind. it sucks. I always lock my car. I always lock my dorm room (even if i'm just going to take a piss). The only stuff I ever lost was stuff that I loaned out.
my advice: just lock your doors and you'll be fine. relax and live it up in the dorms. dorms rule.
