If you think about it - and many have - a college is the perfect place to wreak mayhem. Most colleges are liberal, hence the vast majority of the population will not be armed as they are under the impression the police are everywhere and can protect them. As few of these people have ever considered what bad things could happen; instead of running and finding cover, they cower in place, even in the middle of an empty lawn. Finally, most colleges have strict gun control regulations in place. Carry a pistol and you are outta there, do not pass "Go", go directly to jail.

I think I would chose to break a few rules and have something that would even the playing field, like OC spray, a Taser - something.
