I'd be worried about my car being stolen/vandalized/prowled when parking in the University district. Not only during the day (campus parking) but even in an apartment parking garage. I'd recommend commuting on the bus.

I'd come home to fond some weirdo snooping around the parking lot walking inbetween the cars pulling all the door handles and hoping one was unlocked.

Me too. Then I would realize that guy was me, and I would stop doing it.
On a serious note, "gated" communities and "closed" garages simply means the bad guy won't worry as much being bothered by people passing by. There was a 15 car parking garage that was never closed (or if it was it wouldn't open with the "clicker") It had fake cameras that everyone knew of. Let's just say the break-ins were never less than four a month. After a few robberies an old timer didn't bother putting in a new radio and just left the doors unlocked so the robber didn't bother punching out the locks. It was at one of the apts I warned you about btw.

ps. Avoid parking garages. They are dangerous.

to think of all these, and my buddy used to be driving his nsx to school.
and his girlfriend at the time driving a MRS... No problem with them what so ever.
He never baby that nsx cosmetically though...
and I found it funny and irony that the more you care about your car, it's getting more chances of hit.
