Having a small safe in dorm room

Wouldn’t it be possible just not to bring most of those things to campus? Use your debit card for cash if more than $100 (are they really going to be lock up the difference each time they leave the room anyways?). Only a very tiny subset of kids are going to need their passport during the semester. Most meds have zero street value (though I’d lock up adderall!), and at least where we live, our credit cards are now chip encoded and need a password to work. Also for important papers, why not just keep password encoded pdf files of each and print as needed? I can’t imagine where one needs to show an original SS, lifeguard cert or bank documents.
