Living in the dorms was by far one of my favorite parts of college. I made countless memories and I wouldn’t trade dorm life for anything. Most people might say dorm life stinks and that you really just move off-campus, but you only have 4 years to live in a community like this. Only 4 years to have friends 5 feet away from you. Only 4 years to experience sharing a bathroom with 20 other people. Here’s how to make the most of your time living in the dorm:
1. Keep your door open
2. Hang out in the lobby
3. Join Hall Council
4. Get to Know Your Resident Assistant
