if you really really have to bring em all, then look into storage prices in the area.

Don't take them. When I was living in the dorm, I kept my collection at my parents house. Plus the dorm rooms are real small so you dont need the shoestaking up space.

When I was in college, I only lived about an hour's drive from campus so I was able to go home frequently and because of that I was able to swap out mykicks regularly. You really should not have more than six to eight pairs if you live in the dorms. If your roomy is a perfect roommate and soon becomes yourbest friend, theft is endemic in college dorms so even if it is not your roommate doing the theft someone will steal your kicks if you have lots of them and itbecomes known that you have lots of rare and have high resell value (even if you have beaters you may still get your stuff stolen. Undergrads, particularlyunderclassmen, are usually pretty grimy).
I was careful and if I did have a fresh pair and/or neck breakers, I would wear them at the end near the end of the week, when I knew would be going home andcould take that pair home to safety back in Ventura County at my parents' house (the CSUN dorms may well be the most crime ridden in the Country). I lovedcollecting kicks and did not want to lose my stuff so when I was at school, I usually had just what I needed for running around campus/the neighborhood nearthe school and playing intramural or pickup basketball and soccer and I would usually just have beaters at that.
When you move off campus things get much better but still watch out because roommates can be douches and steal from you and even if your roomies are all great,just having people comin gand going from a place, lots of peope having keys to a place, parties with strangers, even smal lget togethers in college can involvefriends of friends of friends (those are the types who usually steal in college, not your friends or roomies and not perfect strangers but that shady dude whoknew you enough and knew that there was valuables in the place but was enough of stranger to not care that he is stealing from you. This is true for dorms oroff campus housing). I was never robbed but I knew enough people who were to know that I should keep most of my valuables back home and if I did have nicethings to be very discrete about it. That is true, BTW, for on or off campus housing, for kicks or valuables that are not kicks and for life in general butcollege in particular.
Just bring what you need for sports and fitness and maybe have one or two nice pairs for casual wear. As I went on in college though, a combination of hearingabout theft and an increasingly casual everyday wardrobe at school had me usually wearing sandals most of the year and having a pair of boat shoes or loafersfor colder weather and the only kicks were ones that I used regularly for sports and training.
Unless you have a single, with a very sturdy lock, do not even think about having your entire collection with you at school. Even if you have a single that issecure, college thieves can get pretty ingenious and other college thieves are opportunistic,even if you actually had a sturdy lock and door (which isextremely unlikely, dorm doors are trash) you may forget to lock your doors or some takes your keys or any number of things can happen to jeopardize yourentire collection and leave it at the mercy of the multitudes of broke, sociopathic strangers who will be the majority of your dormmates.
