After about the second time this happened, I took a firearms training course, as well as a marksmanship course, and seriously looked into getting a gun permit. Unfortunately, firearms were not allowed in the dormitories. Damn.
Similar incidents have happened to me in the NYC subway -- usually a group of young men sense that I'm an out-of-towner and would follow me, oftentimes yelling "Are you lost?" I swear that if I had a gun, I would have had a Bernie Goetz moment each and every time.

Dude, no wonder you're so tweaked all the time.
I heart Tweak's parents.
I also heart Underpants Gnomes.
