What about security of laptops, mp3 player,etc. left in the dorm room? Does the desk have a lock? Do I need a foot locker or dorm safe that can be locked? The Knightcard is used to get into the dorm? A key is used for the dorm room, right? Thanks.

The dorm rooms are locked unless you choose to unlock them. Nobody is really too concerned about locking things up in a safe...I've never seen one. Some people do have laptop locks that they bring if they want, so you could do that. The rooms have keys, the buildings have cards, yes.

What do you want to know about SMC?
