Dorm 101

The dorms are a great place to be for freshmen who are just starting out their college experience. I personally live in the Towers dorms located on the west end of campus. The dorms gives you a chance to meet lots of people and make lifelong friends. It was very important to me especially as an out-of-state student to live in the dorms for my first year. I very much enjoy living in the dorms and get along very well with my roommates. I've made many friends and love the feeling of being independent from my parents. It's definitely not all roses and daisies though, there is always drama to be had on every floor of our 7-story dorm. It's just a given that if you put roughly 300 students in one building that there are going to people that don't get along. The important thing is to understand that you're going to have to live with these people for a whole year, so you're going to have to deal with the people that you don't like. Another important aspect in living in the dorms is preparing yourself for the countless amount of fire drills that happen in odd hours of the night. They will happen and you might just end up outside in the midst of taking a shower with your hair soaking wet in the frigid Boise winter. As long as you keep an open-mind and do your best to get along with others you should have a great time in the dorms.
