How would anyone know? And one's experience limited to one or a few campuses can't be extended to all the college campuses in the country.
The bottom line is that you don't know and you can't possibly know.
Most likely, one CAN know for sure for the school of interest. For example, (since UGA was referenced above), the UGA campus police crime laws are available back to 2010, before the law was passed on small knives on campus.

The crime reports show you are 200 times more likely to get arrested for underage possession of booze or possession of drugs than for a pocket knife, and that 100% of the pocket knife arrests were in conjunction with an arrest for booze, drugs, drunk and disorderly, assault, or some other crime. On occasion, they tack on a weapons charge if they find one when you are arrested for something else, but they do not arrest only for small pocketknives or multitools.
