i just got into dj'ing this past year, which was my second year in the dorms. My dorm was the shit though with all trustworthy people, my door was never locked (unless a "visitor" was over) and we had lots of expensive shit. DEFINITELY bring your equipment, dont let worrying hold you back. like people said you can lock it up if youre worried about it, but itll be a great way to have some bangin parties and make some friends.
I think i am bringing my gear when i go away. I hope there is enough room. I don't have decks but i have my speakers 2 computers and 2 mixers. I will probably lose my mind without the stuff.
I brought my shit. It was fine. Can't play at parties with your gear sitting 1000 miles away.
I was wondering the same thing but I decided that I would just leave my gear at home. I'm only doing this because I live about 30 minutes away from where I live on campus. I plan on transferring out after a year though so I would imagine I would bring my gear.
I wasn't able to bring my 1200s, but I did manage to find space for my CDJs and 57SL + laptop. My roommate was my best friend, so I trusted him with my shit, never had any problems. I have an apartment now, though, with a separate room for all of my precious equipment. 
Dorms suck. Get an apartment.
Bring your gear and instantly become the most interesting person on your floor.

Use your headphones extensively to mix, be discreet about your roommate's sleeping habits, use spinning as motivation to get your homework done, as a reward for going to class, finishing papers, the like.
All of this = Graduating in four years one smart cookie who can play a heck of a set. Pay it forward . . . you won't regret a thing.

A flight case with a padlock should do you allright.. but doing something like a motorcycle chain through one of the carry handles securing it to your bed wouldnt hurt either or somewhere else highly immobile in the room.
Just be cautious of locking them up. Truth be told id be more worried about being known as a DJ in your dorm. For the simple fact Dj=CDs. I would worry ALOT more that your CDs/Vynals are stashed, sorted, catalouged and accounted for. THat way things dont go missing while you were at class and the roomate has "no idea what happened to them"

I wanted to bring my gear with me to school, but my father talked me out of it. You open yourself up way too much. Especially if you don't know the person you're rooming with. I'd say leave your gear at home.
Keep your priorities straight man. Booze and women.
Joking aside, learn how to produce. no one gives a poo about DJ's anymore.
