Speaking from personal experience, do not give in.
I was in a similar situation in my first year at uni living in halls. The company that owned the halls said that I was not allowed to keep my bike in my room because it was a fire hazard. Instead I was supposed to put it in the "secure" bike parking area in the garage. This "secure" area turned out to be nothing more than a padlocked cage with a bike rack in it, still I begrudgingly put my bike in there.
A few weeks later the garage door mechanism broke and whilst waiting for it to be fixed they decided it would be more convenient for all if it was left open. Sure enough within 2 days every single car in the garage had been broken in to and 3 bikes were gone including mine.
The company that managed the halls refused to claim any responsability and I was out £1200 worth of bike.
Moral of the story, keep your bike in your room no matter what they tell you!!!
