Move in Weekend, What to do? / Dorming

[keepzdasneakz]

Lazy B covered everything as far as I can remember. If your dorm as an elevator, I'd say the TV wouldn't be a problem...but if it doesnt...lulz.

Real talk, just put yourself out there and mingle with the incoming students. Some of my best friends now are people I met my first week of college. Be activesocially!

You can generally fit a 32 inch tv in a dorm. A LOT of people have TV's...at least where I was. On the other hand, a lot of people just used theircomputers.

So can yall tell me what your experiences were like

*sidenote* I want to bring my 32" HDTV but my dorm is on the 9th floor, is that an issue?
EDIT: for clarification there is an elevator

I don't know of dorms without an elevator.

How much of the tuition is covered? Financial aid always has emergency money on standby for students so if something isn't right or you need more money(3k), your best bet is to write an e-mail detailing your needs while being as professional and sincere as possible. It worked for me. I got an additional grantbecause my brother is going to school as well this year.

Don't sit in your room all day.

Or if you do, chill w/ the door open.

I met mad people my first weekend in the halls cause they were like listening to something I liked w/ the door open or playing madden or some @@%!.

But honestly, move in weekend, you should only be in your room when you sleep.

Other than that, get your !+$ out and about before classes start.

Oh how I miss College

 

[extraordinary swag]

- Don't flaunt your valuables too much, like shoes, tv, video games and what not cuz some people are hungry and will rob you even if you in the same dorm.

- buy some rubbers, (

they just handed them out my freshman year at Howard)

- if you don't have a whip, go grocery shopping cuz cafeteria food will get old

- is your dorm co-ed? if so be nice to the ladies, help them move their stuff in. way to get your foot in the door

- lock your room door anytime you leave

I sent them a sincere email like on the 7th but their email stated that they might not respond until 7 days from the email and everything has tobe paid for by the 14th.

My scholarship pays for tuition but not the mandatory $600 fee or the other fees such as room and board

you're downtown so its food everywhere but stock up on microwaveables.. noodles... late night snacks are necessary.

i got one roommate and all the dorms got they own bathroom and kitchen

o yea im staying in the Lofts/suites. I aint got that commons money

Im going to Georgia State too.......Im staying in theFreshmen Hall though

You move your stuff into the dorms and then hang out until classes start. Try to make some new friends and try not to get into any trouble.

at how the Freshmen Hall looks. You should have stayed in the lofts or commons, they are apartment style and each room has their own bathroom,kitchen, and living room.

Yea I kno but Im rooming with a homie thats basically family to me so we dont really mind being in one room for the first year
and we only share our bathroom with one other person (its not a community bathroom type thing, thankfully) and it comes with
a dining hall on the first floor which is ALL YOU CAN EAT

so its notthat bad......

And plus, it gives us a chance to get to kno pretty much everybody we will be spending our next four years with and it saves money

Just don't follow girls around at a distance while they're talking with cute guys and you'll be fine.

 

[prokid404]

I'm working in GSU's freshman hall. They look boo boo. IMO the lofts is the place to be. I've lived in the commons for the past two years.They're nothing special.
