Housing

Show notes

Whether you're living on-campus in a dorm or residence hall or in an off-campus apartment, we're covering what first-year housing looks and feels like. Your living situation plays a big role in shaping your freshman year.

Morgan talks about living in on-campus housing, the pros and cons of random roommates, and the fun moments that happen in a dorm.

In this episode:

  • Why waiting too long to select housing – and a roommate – is a bad idea
  • What to do when you and your random roommate don't get along
  • Why living on-campus is – usually – worth it
  • Dorm shenanigans, unique experiences, and more!
"I think pick a different roommate. But honestly, I think I would do it over again. The whole experience was so worth it."
Morgan
