At the college where I work, I've seen bikes stored in the stairwell-even though I'm sure it was against policy, but no one said anything and I would've put mine there too. locked to somethng sturdy of course-out of the weather. At my Univ- nearby town, bikes are left outside locked to racks. I'm sure some got stolen, but I've seen them left alone too. On one rack I saw the same 3 bikes and no one touched them(one was a beater mtn bike and one a cruiser) and it was a high traffic area. So I guess it's where you are. I agree that campuses should have storage for bikes, that can't take up that much space can they?
