You are still in college, so looks should be the least of importance. I have seen what happens to cars on campus. IMHO, get something that is dependable. Looks should take a back seat to cost (purchase price and insurance), economy, and reliability.
I live off campus and just commute in. Not saying my car is "safe" where it is parked because I don't have underground parking or anything, but its not parked next to a bunch of college kids' cars. It's a lot easier to say looks shouldn't be important than to actually not care about how the care looks. I couldn't live with myself walking out to get into an Echo, Sentra, or Civic every day. The cars are just plain boring looking. I need something I'm actually proud to own.
