Buy a laptop lock! Awesome for the library. I have one like this. For the dorm I only had small things like jewelry and my passport, etc. so I got this safe. Its cord wraps around the post of your bed. It's not impenetrable by any means but it definitely deters theft. In my dorm we all ended up trusting each other so I didn't worry, but theft does happen!
Most crimes are those of opportunity. Anything that requires a little effort to remove is typically enough to either make it not worth the time, or draws enough attention someone may ask about it.
I typically take a backpack to keep my mouse / headphones in when I am not there. I string loops / handle through my laptop lock, then throw a little luggage lock on the zipper. Things are not only secure, but out of sight. It also doubles as a place to stash any swag you pickup. Unattended t-shirts have this bad habit of wondering off.
I also see quite a few people ziptie their mouse, keyboard, and headphone cables in with their PC and monitor cables, making them difficult to remove without a pair of clippers and a little effort. Although this doesn't help for wireless devices or swag.
Storage is at a premium in dorms and this is great for reading from your bed!
Edit: Almost forgot! When you're in college studying in the library or the student center, you may want to lock up your laptop. It's crumby, but people will steal and nothing is more devastating than a lost laptop! laptop lock
Edit#2: yikes I'm so forgetful. Would you like a falafel with that?
They are marketed towards offices and such but sounds like securing it to something immovable with a laptop lock is a good idea at home as well. At least for some. Of course, such can't protect it from being seriously effed up out of frustration and spite on the part of the burglar.
Speaking of these, I was surprised to discover just this morning that iPads do not have the small slot required to insert the lock. Apparently not MacBook Airs either.
