Remember when they raided that whole apartment building in Chicago, I think? There was one guy who had extra locks on his door and basically slept through it. Outside of the kind of shit we all actually want to do, look into hardening your door.

Everyone should be checking and replacing the screws in their door hinges and latch strike plates.

You can also buy stronger strike plates if you own or think your landlord will tolerate it. But just using long screws that go into the framing will make it significantly harder to kick down your door. The cost is literally pennies worth of screws + having/borrowing a power drill for a minute.
