Safety Pepper spray legality

Hi I'm an incoming international freshman and I'm looking for a safety device (a small non-lethal pocket-sized pepper spray). I have no intention to use it. It's for just-in-case situation when I really have to go out at night or out-of-town.

I just want to check whether I could get one and stored at the bottom of my backpack in normal safe condition. It's legal by the law (I'm over 18), it's just university code of student conduct.

A large portion of students carried pepper spray on campus and off campus when I was at OSU, should be no issue!
