I am thinking of investing in a can of bear mace. I really don't want to go back if I cannot be relatively safe right next to my class, but I don't really have much of a choice. So, I am reading the laws around here regarding pepper spray. So far it seems to be completely legal if one is 18+ years of age. And I won't be sitting in the halls waiting for my classes anymore. I'll probably sit in the admissions office from now on or something (I have a two hour gap between my 3rd and 4th class and no car). Thank you all for your replies and I apologize for the language.
