<p>On day one, parents come with students and all their apparatus and help them move in.
On day two, students have a few activities and get ready for orientation trip.
On day three, students participating in orientation trips leave for four days.</p>
<p>Do students feel that the stuff they leave behind is secure for four days? Most will have laptops and perhaps other equipement that they will have to leave behind. How secure are the buildings for petty theft, and what is the best solution for keeping laptop, etc. safe while you’re gone? </p>
<p>Any responses from current students, parents, or new parents who have everything figured out will be appreciated.This wasn’t an issue with my firstborn because her trip took place before move-in day.</p>
<p>could you possibly worry any more?</p>
<p>lol. true. </p>
<p>Since my son just spent $3000+ for his new laptop, however, I was just wondering.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of such problems when people go on OA trips. You need to have a Pomona ID to swipe into a dorm, and as long as you or your roommate (if you have one) lock the door and windows before you leave, you’ll be fine. You can try hiding the laptop somewhere if you are really worried.</p>
<p>A.S.A.P.–</p>
<p>Both my D and her roommate left their laptops behind last year and had no problems. The sponsors stay behind, and there usually are other upperclasspeople living in South Campus dorms, so it’s not as if it’s totally deserted. As gnatcire said, as long as your S practices safe security, his belongings should be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks, both of you.</p>
