Hey, what was your experience when you moved into your dorm. How did people react to you? Did you enjoy it or did you miss your home? Were the people too loud the first days? How often did you go to parties, and were you able to balance your classes and your social life? Feel free to give your comments. Thanks
hm, I'm a hermet for the most part, they have parties, well they did last year, the noisy people got out of the dorm, but, gaah, they had this party one weekend when the RAs were off campus, and it was rather annoying, it started at 10 and lasted to 1. not fun.
College will be what you make of it. Sometimes you'll get cool sweet mates to talk to other times they'll be worthless. If you want to make friends talk to people in class and go join student clubs that interest you. Yes I party sometimes it's in the dorm, it's fun and it hasn't caused me to fail classes.
My roomates last year were all loud and it was hard to concentrate. This year they are really cool. One of them is the RA.
my dorm is medical singles, but you still get the girl in the room next to me screwing her BF, first off, our beds share the wall, and you are not supposed to have men in women's rooms, it's against the campus rules, but that is not enforced that well,
I've found it to be awsome. I mean I've only been here for a month but it's balancing out nicely. and I live in the non-party-dorm. haha.
and guys not allowed in girl's rooms? how silly. Yay libral arts college!
Hi, I got lucky when I went to my 4 your university. My roomate was a senior and him and his friends asked me to go and eat out with them the first night there. Of course they were nervous cause they had really never met a blind person, but they treated me as an equal. I had three roomates, and they were all great, I got lucky and as far as the parties, we had Monday night football parties in my room cause I went and treated myself to a nice tv, and the girls wouldn't let us have the tv lounge, but they played our football pool. LOL!! The only problem I had was another blind person had gone their about 5 years ago, and left a really bad impression on many of the people in the cafiteria which I had to overcome. Sorry for rambling!
hey I go no roommates, I only go to the partys in the doom. and I am mating friends in classes and clubs. but this year the girls next door are great. you need nice poeple on your floor because i share the bathroom with them so I hope this helps. and I am not the only blind person at my school. so people are helpful. and police men have been very helpful this year with the work being done on my building.
it's not silly, I go to a catholic college, and it's the rule, but they ignore that. and have sex anyway. but still. there was another blind person at my college a few years back, and everyone calls me by her name. I tell them, that Katie was the one with the dog, I'm the one with the long white stick.
I loved dorm life and partied way too much, which explains why I didn't finish school. LOL
Rather then bitching about it on the boards shadow draggon maybe you should nicely ask the sweet mate to keep it down or at least let you know when she is going to fuck him so you can leave your room and find something else to do so you don't have to listen to it?
not to be rude, but my dorm is a single room, our beds share the same wall, and when it wakes you up at 2 in the morning, you really don't want to get up and go somewhere else. and I have told people on campus about it, but nothing has been done.
and if others can bitch about pointless things on the boards, I can bitch about this.
LOL at post 10. I did almost the same thing, but I didn't do my partying when I lived in a dorm. I waited until I lived off campus in a neighborhood where all everyone did was party, and then I spend all my time partying and not enough of it going to class. So, as Becky said, that's why I didn't finish school.
to ShadowDragon I agree youhave every right to say anything you want on here thats theholepoint after all .
This is my third year in college, and I luv it! I go to a four-year university. I live in a very nice dorm. My college has two dorms that I like to call miniapartments, because they have two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a mini kitchen with a fridge and microwave only. I have had the pleasure of having some great roommates. My first year, I talked to my roommate online before school started, and she seemed scared about the prospect of having a blind roommate, but when she saw me and was around me, she realized it wasn't bad at all. Of course, I explained online to her as much as I could that I was normal and the stuff I use to better myself, such as Braille labels, but it didn't make sense until she saw it herself. For the first three semesters, I did nothing but study. Last semester, I joined a christian sorrority my roommate last year was in and still is. It was a little hard at first balancing between the two, but I think I've finally figured out this balancing act. As for parties...yeah, they occur, but I don't go to them. They're kind of against my religion. Haha.
I've been in college for four years, but this is my first time living in a dorm. It was fun and crazy. It's always quiet during Friday nights because every one's been partying and drinking. But during the week days, it's a bit loud. People drink and smoke outside and scream and say things that don't make sense. My university is a bit crazy. They have a drank bus. You can call a number when your drank and you think you can't walk or drink back to your dorm. This bus will pick you up and bring you back safe. Another thing, there's are big jars filled with free condoms in the health center. Every one is free to get 24/7. So far the atmosphere here is pretty cool. Parties? I went to a couple, it's not that bad. Too many people are dirty dancing ant it was crazy. Your better off going to the bar if you want the place to be a little bit mellow. Oh, I forgot to mention. There is a lot of bars in here, and there is a liquor store across my dorm. It's crazy out here.
I've never been in college but would have loved to experienced it.. smile
Sweet Barbie in that case come visit me in college, get really drunk, wake up next to me in bed not remembering how you got there, and go through what every freshmen girl does drunkin regrets!
I don't live in a dorm anymore, but when I did, I had a lot of fun. (at my university, dorms are only guaranteed to first-year students and people with disabilities). I lived in one for two years, but now live in a house across the street with five other people. The dorm parties were a lot of fun, and I had my fair share of drunken good times (what am I talking about, I still have those), but I prioritized academics and somehow that worked. It can be a lot of fun or really awful depending on who you live with though. I did try to make people feel comfortable with my blindness, even though making other people comfortable with my disability is not my job, and I think it worked out in the end.
wow, this is my first semester living on campus. But it is my Second year in college though. When I first came here on campus I was home sick at first, but then I got to know people here on campus it is ok now. I do not live ina party dorm thing. I actually live in a onner;'s hall. Witch means that there is not that much party going on.
