18yr old daughter is starting college and needs a self defense weapon. Guns on campus are out so what is the best self defense weapon?

Just remind her that she is the weapon... everything else is a tool. A sharp pencil, a metal pen or a good fingernail file are all legal to carry but make fine stabbing weapons. A small claw hammer will make a great impact weapon. As I, and a few others on here will attest, a long neck beer bottle is just begging to be an impact weapon or a missile. Point being weapons are all around us it's just knowing how to use them.
 
I have to ask, have you reached out to the school on what THEIR policy is in place to protect the students since they will not allow an individual protective measure? Would they produce a record of past occurrences of assaults in the past 24mos?
That information could help shape what approach you and your daughter take.
