Essay on Dorm Life

A typical college student living in a dormitory often times includes a roommate. Having a roommate is not always a bad thing. In my experience the roommate I had actually became a secondary alarm for me. Dante

One thing students lose when they decide to dorm is privacy. They have to share a bedroom, bathroom, and living space with other students. Some students have no experience sharing a room with another human being, and the transition can be frustrating at times. Studying is difficult

College dorms are always a great experience for your first year of college because we get to meet new people. There is just one problem the bathrooms they could be changed. There should be no CO-ED bathroom, install more showers, give each room their own bathroom, or put locks on the shower. This is a problem for me because I am not used to someone I don't know coming in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. I feel uncomfortable knowing that someone else is in there. There should be a change in residence hall bathrooms that make students feel more comfortable and safe while being in the bathroom.

The process for room selection is not overly complicated. Students are randomly assigned a number (this varies from year to year, in 2016 students without a requirement were given numbers 1-3999 and those with were given from 4000 up.) Then there are selection rounds based on how many roommates you intend to have. When it is your desired round, students put down their intended roommate(s). If you and the intended roommate(s) match up, your numbers are averaged and you are given a time to select your room.

If we had purchased our own place to stay wherever that would be I’m sure that there will be rules that we would have to abide by as well, which is fine but if we didn’t abide by those rules we would most likely be kicked out and that’s how our campus visitation rules should be regulated. Also if the school can trust the upper classmen housing with no visitation limitations then they should at least try to trust the freshmen housing with no limitations on

Since the fall semester last year, I have been living in a dorm room during the spring and fall semesters. This has been my first time living somewhere other than my parents’ house. Our room is set up so that my roommate and I have our own bedrooms and share a bathroom. We also share a living room with two other people. One of the most substantial changes is that I feel like I have more privacy. At my parents’ house I didn’t have a lock on my bedroom door, so my parents or my brother could just walk in at any time. Now in my dorm room, I can just lock my door and I do not have to worry about anyone coming in. Another change is my parents used to tell me I need to clean my room or make my bed, but now I can set up my room however I want without having to worry. My parents also used to do most of the cleaning around the house and always had things like cleaning supplies or medicine, but now I take care of that, so it makes it feel more like my own area that I look after. Even though I had my own bedroom, it still always felt like I was living in my parents’ house, but now it really

College is a life changing experience for students. College is a new environment for most students and comes with lots of challenges. Things such as the increased difficulty of academic work and not being around the same social groups as a student was before college can make the transition very difficult. One of the best things a student can do to help with this transition is to live in a campus residence hall. Students should live in dorms because of the community that this creates. Students will gain many beneficial social interactions, will be able to better complete academic work, and will ease the adjustment to college life.

Dorming can also be very overwhelming at first. You can easily be distracted by parties or hanging out in the lounge or a friends dorm. Also it makes it more susceptible to leave everything for last minute and realize that you have no time to

College is a great opportunity that I am blessed to be going through today. I see it as an opportunity to grow as a person and set myself up for the future I want. The success I have in the future will be greatly affected by how I do in college.

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.

4. Roommate conflict is almost the first one that comes as starting life on campus. College students are forced to live with people who may have different values, beliefs, schedules, and habits than they do.

As I graduated high school, I thought college would just be yet another four years of high school, and I was wrong. College opens many new doors in a young man or woman’s life. There are new responsibilities and pressures that you will have to deal with, and with more freedom these responsibilities and pressures can be difficult to handle. College has changed a great deal over the years and these changes, such as more freedoms, make college a much more challenging experience. You need to start preparing for college now by making yourself more responsible and having more self-control. Although you think college is merely partying with easy classes on the side, I have experienced pressures and work loads that make the experience challenging
