[QUOTE="Scottytuned, post: 1203644, member: 87569"] I work at a college in a more rural area (not in your preferred area though), and have the gun storage question a lot, especially since most colleges and universities have a first-year live-on requirement. Contact the local police department or sheriff's department in the area of the college, as I've found that most will let you store your firearms there off-campus. Additionally, check with youth programs in the area to see what they would recommend. Even though you are likely older than their age demographic, they will be well-versed in resources for gun storage in the area, and may even have hunt clubs/ranges in the area that will be willing to store them. Some campus PD will even store for you if the college has one, so lots of options there where I wouldn't worry. As for the choices, my biggest tip is choose a place that will offer you the best opportunity for educational advancement, not the best hunting. If you want to be in a western state, then awesome, but don't do it because of the game. If you find a college with an excellent track record in your major/field of interest, you will likely find jobs after college easier, make more in the future, and be able to do more hunts at an older age. After all, college location is only 4-5 years - the stuff you take away will last a lot longer. I see a lot of people pick the wrong school for the wrong reasons, and don't want to see someone fall into a trap of transferring, losing credit, and finding career. Nothing personal, just my .02 as a professional in the field. [/QUOTE]
