<p>I've decided that I want to live on campus when going back to college.</p>
<p>I take prescription medications (by my psychiatrist) for mental illness.</p>
<p>What can I do to ensure that I can live on campus and have my medications safeguarded from other people that would be living with me on campus?</p>
<p>I hope what I wrote makes since and I thank you for your responses,

<p>Lots of people take meds for stuff in college. Don’t advertise that you have them and just keep them in a drawer or anywhere else that’s out of plain sight. Are you even taking meds people would want to swipe? You could also keep them in a locked suitcase/trunk or go so far as to buy some sort of small safe.</p>
<p>Buy a small locking filebox to keep out of sight in a drawer or under your bed. Keep the daily dose in non-descript container covering the scrip bottle and don’t advertise to people you are on the meds. It shouldn’t be a problem if you are a bit careful.</p>

<p>Yeah, unless they’re meds that are commonly abused I don’t think you have to worry too much, and even then just don’t tell anyone you have them and keep them in a secure place.</p>

<p>This. </p>
<p>Lots of people take Rx meds. No need to advertise that you do, especially if you’re taking something that is easily abused (benzos, narcotics, etc.)</p>
<p>Put it out of sight, but don’t get a safe. That just attracts more attention, and college students are good at breaking away with safes.</p>
