either staying at home or living in the dormitory. Some students have wonderful experiences in the dorm, and others have absolutely opposing opinions about dorm life. The question that every college student must answer: should you live on-campus or at home? Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, so it is crucial for you to weigh your choices before you make a final decision. In my opinion, living at home is a lot better than living in the dormitory, however, both have their pros and cons
The Psychological Effects of Dormitory Architecture and Layout on Residents For many students, part of the experience of going to college is living in university housing. With so many young people living in such facilities, it is certainly worth investigating how they affect their denizens from a psychological perspective.

Importance of Recycling at the University I remember my first semester here at the University and the dark halls of the Bates House Residence Hall. Many a party was concluded with an idea for what to do with the endless piles of cans that had congregated on the floor. One idea, I remember, was to wall someone into his room and another was to see how many we could stand on end without toppling. But, we usually just ended up throwing them in the trashcans in our refuse room. Sometimes out

the same for them. The biggest lesson I learned from my brothers was to be grateful and be happy with the opportunities that I have or will have in the future. I became aware of the importance to be grateful when the dormitory mom, Mrs. Montana, made brownies for everyone in the dormitory; and I took two extra brownies. When I noticed two of my nearest friends did not get brownies, they told me that there were only enough for everyone to have one brownie. My ears heard the same thing from the both of

In high school, when I was signing up for the dormitories at The University of Oklahoma, I never questioned as to if there was any other option. To me, living in the dorms was something everybody did their freshman year of college. I came to realize however that many students decide to either commute from home, or get an apartment off of campus. I completed my freshman year and loved my dorm experience, and whenever people as my recommendation, I always tell them he dorms are the way to go. The

Having Cable Television on College Campuses Eleven o’clock on a Tuesday night, walking through the brightly lit halls, many doors wide open in a dormitory complex on the campus of Bowling Green State University, one can see that the only light that emerges from the open doors is the constantly changing illumination coming from television consoles. Passing from door to door, sounds such as sports cheers, gun shots, screams of people being slain, and moans of woman in ecstasy can be heard. Although
Introduction Before I was blessed to have a lovely wife in my life, I was a single male just attempting to discover myself and find my niche that I belonged in as a functioning adult. Being single had blessed me with the time needed that I may mature to be a responsible, caring adult. From the time I was entered adulthood at eighteen to the time I was 25, those seven years were the most crucial experiences as an adult, much like an infant attempting to take their first steps. In this Life Learning
Aren’t You Glad You Didn’t Turn On the Lights? College campuses have been known to be popular breeding grounds for rumors. Ask any college student walking around a typical campus for the latest gossip, and they may flood you with more stories, quips, and anecdotes than you may have ever asked for. Some of these stories lead to codes and rules for living safely on campus, as urban legends about campus-related murders and crimes begin to circulate more frequently. In addition, these stories may

Cockroaches in the College Dorms Our dorm is populated with more than 150 students from all parts of the country. However, humans alone do not make up most of the population of the dorm. Cockroaches live year round in the humble abodes of many college freshmen. Walking through the halls of the dorm, finding evidence of their residence is very easy. Most of the time, there are squashed ones in the halls and on the sidewalks leading to the dorm. Something must be done in order to keep the roaches
After graduating from high school on June 3, 2012, I quickly realized coming to college would be my first step towards becoming an adult. I wondered how living in a college dorm would differ from living in my parents’ house, or would it just be the same as living at home? I could not answer the question at that time. When I first stepped on the campus of Lamar University, I felt very comfortable with the people I came in contact with and the campus surroundings. I thought to myself, “This school
College is an institution where students from various walks of life come to study for degree. However, for most students it’s a new chapter in their lives as they have to leave the comfort of home. Homesickness is a common issue among college students, particularly international students. Being an international student myself, I have experienced such phenomena. Ho (2010) reports that being homesick isn’t sorely about missing home itself but missing the things we love at home. Nonetheless, college

The Residential Advisor, or RA, subculture is confined strictly to dormitories. People who have yet to attend college or have never resided in a dorm, may have a lack of knowledge or interest in this particular subculture. Even as a college freshman living in the dorms, I did not have substantial information covering this unique group, which is why I chose to observe them for my ethnography. Although I live with many residential advisors in Naismith Hall, I found myself that I didn’t know much about
