Thank you!
That's true for all uni life; you're missing out if this is not the case.I also heard studying is very difficult because people party lots.
Depends on the college. Some do have a lot of parties, others are pretty quiet and nerdy (like mine).I also heard studying is very difficult because people party lots.
Just curious - what college was this at what uni?Depends on the college. Some do have a lot of parties, others are pretty quiet and nerdy (like mine).
Just curious - what college and uni were you at?A few things I've learned, in no particular order:
- On-campus location is awesome
- Catered colleges have different food standards - some people cope with it fairly well, others hate it and can't wait to get their own kitchen
- Each residence has a different reputation and a different character - make sure you research this before you apply, some of my friends have made mistakes since they based decisions solely off experiences they had in summer schools
- Some colleges have problems of the criminal kind - be aware of this
- It is possible to be a non-drinking college resident (case in point being myself) - but whether or not this is difficult can depend on the culture within the college
- Living together with other students is great for finding academic assistance when you need it
- Rooms can be quite small, you'll want to make sure you don't have too much stuff
- You can get good neighbours, you can get bad neighbours - sometimes you do have to call the SR/RA to shut down their parties at 1am
- Try not to get other residents off-side... you do after all have to live with them for the rest of the year - I've been warned in particular about getting into relationships with other college residents, it can work very well, but the break-ups are pretty bad...
- You do have to build up friendships within college, otherwise you'll feel pretty isolated - I've seen this happen to a few people whose friendships were mostly outside college
- Basically, living on-campus is awesome, as long as you stay sensible and look out for yourself!
