I was assigned to live in McCutcheon Hall on campus. I couldn&#8217;t wait to make my dorm room home for my first year of college. However, I had no idea what to expect living with someone I didn&#8217;t know, sharing a bathroom with a floor full of girls, and living in one room rather than a house. Here&#8217;s some advice to reassure you will survive dorm life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Communicate with your roommate. If something bothers you, be upfront before it becomes a bigger issue. Learn to be flexible and understanding to others. Not everyone has the same schedule as yourself.<\/li><li>Invest in a shower caddy. Trust me, you won&#8217;t regret it. The worst feeling is when you get in the shower and realize you forgot your shampoo and conditioner. Also, invest in flip flops and a robe. This will be key to achieve no foot fungus and no chance your towel will accidentally drop in the hallway.<\/li><li>Study other places on campus rather than just your dorm room. For me, I needed a space to relax and not think about school. In order to do this, I set study areas across campus so I could relax and socialize in my dorm room without stressing out about assignments. I would recommend your dorm basement, the CRC (located in Lilly), Walc, Hick&#8217;s Library, or the second floor in Krannert.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After my high school graduation ceremony, I was anxiously counting down the days to move into Purdue.
