What is one reason why college students are five times more likely than other adults to be victims of identity theft?

The answer to this question is Many students live in close proximity with others and do not do a good job securing checkbooks and financial documents.

Let's say that you're living in a dorm. You'll be used with letting a lot of people that you may not recognize to walk passed your room every day. College students won't even realize if someone who is not a registered student there introduce him/herself as one.
