I haven't been on UT Houston's campus, but I'd think carefully about keeping a gun in the car as a permanent storage solution. When I was in college my car was broke into twice. Once they hotwired it and a fuse or something blew so they didn't actually take it, but they would have if something hadn't gone wrong. I had to have it towed. The second time they just dug through the car for anything valuable. If your car is burglarized or stolen, you'd be out a gun. And if you had to have it towed or something, you'd have nowhere else to store your gun. My car was not a particularly attractive target (used, nothing high-end, nothing valuable left in the car and nothing in plain sight, and I even used a club and a brake lock religiously after the first time someone broke into it).

Just factors to consider as you make your decision.
