Welcome to CampusSafes.com!  I created this site to provide dorm safe reviews after my roommate forgot to lock the door and we had some stuff stolen.   I purchased the three highest rated compact and laptop safes from Amazon and reviewed them on value, quality and usefulness for college students living on campus.  For more on the selection and research process check out the About Page.

I hope you find these reviews useful.  If you have any questions about finding the best safe for campus living, please send me an email.

 

Laptop Safe Reviews

Useful for when you need a place to store your laptop, ipod, jewelry and other expensive/larger items.  A laptop safe will be a bit larger and as such a bit harder to hide in a small dorm room.  If it isn’t included, be sure to look into using a cable lock to secure the safe to something solid in your room.

Compact Safe Reviews

Great safe for storing items like prescriptions, credit cards, personal information and more.  Their small size makes it easy to hide out of sight, which makes it harder for people to steak your stuff.

  • Weight - 12.1 lbs
  • Pros - Very solid safe
