Several safety related concerns prompted Oklahoma State University officials to implement a new policy.
The university sent a statement out regarding hoverboards saying they would not be allowed in campus housing. Officials say they made the decision after several reports surfaced of hoverboards catching fire while in use, as well as when being charged.
Those living on campus, or guests visiting someone living in the housing areas, were told to leave the hoverboards at home due to safety concerns.

“Residents (including guests and dependents of residents) found in possession of a hoverboard in or around their living space, may face disciplinary action from Residential Life.”
