I would also argue that it is safer. One shipment could last you a very long time. Also, you are not at risk for vials breaking and the package getting opened.
The caveat is that you have to keep your mouth shut and not be the cool guy on campus.
If it's just for insurance, throw it in the freezer and forget about it. Don't keep any other brewing supplies around to minimize exposure.
