Learning the ropes all alone in a new place can be scary. However, there are some tips everyone should know to make the transition smoother. First off, college freshmen are in a new environment, maybe even a new city or state, and are living in a dorm with a roommate. A roommate is important to how anyone’s freshman year will turn out. “Most colleges have surveys that you fill out to pair you with a roommate, but not everyone is how they seem on paper,” Kent State sophomore Sam Harwood said. “I Eagle photo by Angela Spano would really recommend meeting them for coffee or something to get to know them before you decide.” Roommates will see each other close to everyday, so making sure they are compatible and friendly is extremely important. When dealing with dorms, it is also important to consider the bathroom situation. Most dorms have communal bathrooms for a whole floor or a suite. Adjusting to a huge bathroom with little privacy would be difficult for anyone. “Make sure you have a shower caddy to bring into the bathroom with everything you need to shower, I know a lot of girls even had a second caddy with face wash and things in it,” Harwood said. “Shower shoes are also good to have, just cheap flip flops so your feet aren't touching the dirty bathroom floors.” As for inside your dorm, there are a few items that make life easier. Amazon sells small washing machines perfect for dorms. Getting into the communal laundry rooms can be hard and risky, so having a small one for emergencies is a life saver. “If you do use the laundry rooms I would encourage you to go really late at night. I’m talking 3 or 4 a.m., barely anyone is in there that late,” Capital University freshman Domenico Gioiello said. Staying organized can be hard not only for the dorm itself, but also for assignments and events. Eagle photo by Angela Spano “One thing that I would tell anyone to get is a massive white board to write down any dates for everything, projects, tests, sports games, parties, all of it,” Harwood said. College is a much different pace compared to high school. Teachers will not nag to get assignments turned in, and there is not much extra credit or make-up opportunities. Making sure everything is completed on time is not the teacher's job anymore. Staying organized will help to manage one's time and energy. The next thing that is an adjustment is the cafeteria and food court situation. “Colleges usually have meal plan options to pick from, but this isn't the only option for food. Check around town before you get a meal plan you are stuck in because there is usually tons of cheap food nearby,” Gioiello said. Food is a pretty personal preference, so evaluate all possible options around before commiting to something for a semester or an entire year. Another big part of most peoples college experience is parties and Greek Life. Not everyone participates in these things, but more than likely a college student will dip their toes in at some point. “College parties are fun, but you can't get caught up in them. I know some people who party way too much and their grades reflect it,” Harwood said. “Also just make sure you are safe and know your surroundings wherever you are; you don't know who all is at that party and why.” Small tricks from upperclassmen are good to have because they have experienced it before. Having someone that is older to go to for advice is beneficial in any new environment, especially college. “You aren't going to get there and know everything right off the bat, and don't act like you do because upperclassmen can see right through that,” Gioiello said.
