Dorm!

Re: Dorm!

I didn't get to see the dorms at any of the colleges I toured, I'm sure they'll be nice though :P

Next year...

What? When I went to Penn State and Virginia Tech, both had tours of the dorms.

Re: Dorm!

You could always act like you're crazy and have her request for a new roommate.

Lightdarkness: From the pictures, I thought your dorm room was a single. It seemed kinda small. It looks nothing like my freshman dorm room. I'll have to post pictures of my new room as well. I got a quad with 2 connecting rooms! Should be a really fun year.

Were you guys planning on bunking or lofting your beds? Anyways, your room looks nice. I'm sure you'll have fun.

We aren't bunking, that's for sure. I'm probably just gonna leave my bed how it is... I don't know about my roommate though.

I really gotta get some sleep

Yeah, that's pretty strange they didn't show you the inside of a dorm. Make sure you get to see one the next time you go on a college visit.

Re: Dorm!

At Johns Hopkins the dorms were undergoing some maintenance and at Cornell I didn't go on the tour I just kind of checked it out hardcore on my own lol There was a tour but I was on a trip somewhere so I couldn't stop for too long, only had like an hour or so.

Re: Dorm!

Hmm why are the 2 monitors split? It looks to me that it's dual monitor setup??? aint it a total neck pain to look back and forth like that? Meh... Nice room though... Good luck with college. I'm starting soon too! wooot!!!

Re: Dorm!

I'm scared i might get a ****ing douchebag of a roomate =(

That's why you room with somebody you know. Not a SUPER CLOSE friend, cuz you'll get sick of them and instantly have nothing to talk about after the first week or so, but somebody you at least know. My roommate was some guy I had a few classes with but didn't really know. I at least knew he wasn't a douchebag at school, which severely lowers the chances that he'd be a douchebag to live with. Turns out he's awesomer when you're living with him. =D

But yeah, his girlfriend at the time and my friend Adele both had random roommates that they HATED. They ended up moving into a new room together for 2nd semester and they liked each other. It's funny, because they were both always in mine and Andrew's room avoiding their crappy roommates, which is where they got to know each other and decide the move in together.

Moral of the story: Living with strangers is scary and bad ALWAYS, because 2 people's experiences = everybody's, duh. Honestly, though, I recommend rooming somebody you at least kinda know before college.

But a bit more on topic: I agree with Jewpin. Very green.

And kinda small looking. Of course, you only really photographed one side of the room, so maybe behind the camera is a living room and kitchen and football field....

PS: Do like I did and don't cut your hair the entire school year. We have pictures from the day we moved in and pictures from the day we moved out, and it's funny to see how much my hair grew. XD

You better not turn your collar up.

If you do, I will know and you will die.

Re: Dorm!

I'm looking at a pic of that dorm 30 years ago.

It's less green.

Cool setup nonetheless.

My roommate last year was one of my friends, and it was really fun. Sure we both had our own group, but we still hung out A LOT. We even live in the same neighborhood, so living with a close friend is not that bad. I do however see where you're coming from. It really just depends on the situation. Some colleges don't even allow you to room with someone with the same zipcode, so you pretty much have to room with a complete stranger. I know that's how Notre Dame is. My brother was supposed to room with one of his friends, but the kid screwed him over and told him they weren't rooming together two weeks before the school year started. But it ended up that my brother got a really cool roommate and had a much better time than he would have with his friend.

I'm rooming with my friend from last year, another kid I met last year, and some random kid. I've talked to him a little bit, and he seems pretty down to earth.

I don't really think rooming with a random person is really that bad. Usually it works out for the best.
