Will items put in my winterhold room despawn?

[Snek!]

So one of the rooms in winterhold i can take stuff from without it counting as stealing, so i assume it's my room ( i didn't get a tour of the place or whatever, no-one has mentioned the room yet). I was wondering if it's safe to put potions and such on the cupoard's for decoration, or if it will despawn. I also need somewhere to store my dragonbones and was going to put that in one of the storage area's here, if it's safe to do so.

It's been my experience that things you leave in containers and on shelves will generally stick around. However, the decoration system in Skyrim leaves a lot to be desired. Things put on shelves, or in display cases will not necessarily de-spawn, they just won't stay put. They tend to fall off or even through shelves, sometimes on their own, sometimes you or a clumsy follower will knock them off. Sometimes they just drop out of the sky and bounce around for a while.

The cells are actually set to respawn, The containers are marked as safe, But anything you leave lying around loose will respawn after 30 game days of not loading the cell. Even the arch mage quarters ;

Encounter zone should be set to "Never Resets" for it to not respawn as seen here;

Surely if i put stuff in a display case, it will stay there, right?

Display case is not safe, stuff will disappear.
If the room is the students room, then stuff in chests will disappear eventually, not sure about wardrobes.
If it's the Archmages quarters and you can use them, stuff in chests and wardrobes will remain, except possibly alchemy ingredients.
