How to change a door lock?

Tonight my dorm room key must have fallen off my lanyard in the dining halls. I don't think anyone would steal it because it doesn't even have my room number on it but just in case it doesn't show up, my school charges $100 for new locks. That is RIDICULOUS and I'm really trying not to pay that much. Is there any way that I could go to a lock store and have them make me a key without them coming to my residence hall? I'm not really sure if we're supposed to have random lock smiths come. I think the school would get mad because they want our money. I need suggestions because I'm broke. :'(

    if someone else has a key, the locksmith will make a new key using that one to copy from.

    Sure, if you took the lockset to a Lockshop they could make you a key for it.
