College campuses are like buffets for bike thieves. Outside of that, most bike theft is a crime of opportunity, and just being locked better than the bikes next to it is enough. But on campus (and other places with heavy use, like outside museums), lock both wheels to the frame and the frame to a rack, and lock the seat, too.
Never lock your bike to street signs if you can help it. They're easy to disassemble. Use a proper rack.
Swap out any "quick release" mechanisms for the kind that use tools.
