Would this $60 bike lock work for my use case? (lemmy.ml)

I'm thinking about commuting by bike from home to my french classes, but the thought of my bike being stolen worries me and I'd like to hear your opinion.

I think that Onguard's Pitbull 8003 U lock would be good enough for my current situation, since my class only lasts about an hour and my bike would be inside the school.

I paid around $450 for my bike years ago, it's an aluminium road bike with shimano sora shifts. Would you say that it could eye catching?

I'd be glad to hear your thoughts!

Just being inside would deter theft. Thieves don't like going inside to steal stuff, and they certainly don't want to grind off a lock inside.
