What should I do with my hiking/camping equipment while in college?

Things like backpacks, waterbottles, first-aid kits etc….. I am not worried about. But I am worried that equipment such as knives, hatchets, lighters (the “dangerous” stuff) will cause problems because I will live in on-campus housing. Does anyone know of any rules that specifically prevent me from bringing this kind of stuff into a dorm room? Any New York State laws that prevent this kind of stuff from being on campus? I really like hiking, and there is even an outdoors club on campus, but I wouldn’t feel prepared for a hike in REAL wilderness without that gear.
im sure it would be fine. just bring everything into your dorm in a duffle bag or something.
Most if not all your camping gear you can bring with you to college. Guns are not and in some cases knives. Consult with your college as to the knife situation. It’s ironic that if a dorm has a kitchen where students cook they allow knives but don’t allow students to carry a hunting knife. Carry.org is promoting legislation that if you have a concealed weapons permit you should be able to bring your hand gun to college. However again ironic you would still not be allowed to bring your hunting rifle. Again consult with your college.
