A dorm is a building college students live in to be on campus during their education. To me, it feels more like a hotel with friends. UWGB like any other school has ID cards that are issued to you. These cards are used for your meal swipes, signing in, and to getting into your specified dorm building and room. I feel as though this is what makes me think of the building more as a hotel than a dorm. Like a hotel, there is a lounge area and it has enough space they put a pool table in it. Sadly the dorms on campus don’t feed us in the lounge area. I like that UWGB added pool tables in a couple of the dorms for the people to enjoy the lounge area, and meet new people or to just play with friends. This is a really cool icebreaker as you could enjoy a game of pool with your new friends.
Living on campus is not all sunshine and rainbows, as there can be roommate problems, or it could be as simple as living on your own. The big deal breaker is definitely roommates. Sometimes there are roommates that aren’t very fond of each other causing it to ruin part of the college experience. This can happen because the roommates are messy, or even stay in the room and don’t leave. This can be annoying as sometimes you might want to have a quiet place to hang out, but your roommate is always there. Living on campus doesn’t have to be bad, there are many good things that come with living on campus. By living on campus you get to meet new people in your dorm, and you get to live on your own. There are many people who get babied through life by their parents, but once they live on campus, they are expected to be able to be self-sustaining. Sadly not everyone is ready for that responsibility. Then there are others who really want to be on their own and are excited to be able to have their own place along with being able to make the events that happen on campus.
