A burglar suspect allegedly posed as a college student to get into a dormitory where she spent three nights robbing students, according to police.

Carissa Gunter, 19, gained access to the University of Cincinnati’s Daniels Hall in December, just after the fall semester ended, by pretending to be a student, UC’s public information officer Kelly Cantwell told WXIX.

Gunter, of Mason, Ohio, then spent three nights in Room 105, during which she stole students’ items, including an Acer laptop, headphones, a USB with games, and pairs of Nikes and Uggs, according to an affidavit.

At full capacity, Daniels Hall houses 775 students on 12 floors, according to UC’s website, which describes the dormitory as having “a welcoming and very social atmosphere” where students “will see doors open for visitors and smiling faces.”

The Cincinnati Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for additional information.
