Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

One of the best parts about going to college is freedom; you suddenly live by yourself, with no one to tell you what you can and can’t do. The dorms are the ultimate expression of this newfound freedom. At IU, there’s a wide range of dorm types, and your dorm experience is what you make of it. There aren’t necessarily any “bad” dorms or “good” dorms, because each one has something different to offer; if you want to have a good time, you can do that regardless of which side of campus you live on. It all depends on you.

Some of the double rooms are cramped, and an Indiana summer in a tiny room can be close to unbearable. Recent renovation efforts prove that at least the administration knows that there’s work to be done. Also, living on campus will probably never compare to living in your own apartment or house off-campus, but it’s a way to get a first taste of that freedom without too much responsibility attached. Besides, if you’re a freshman, you don’t really have a choice.

It All Just Depends!

The dorm life on campus is simply what you make it. There are some dorms that are better and appear cleaner than others as well but you have to make due with what you have. Some dorms that are good options to choose from at IU would be Teter, Wilkie, and Ashton. These are just a few. They are quite costly and there has even been talk that appartments on campus are cheeper. But even so, one has to come to college and experience the dorm life. My roommate last year has become one of my good friends. You grow to meet and understand as well as get along with different types of people from all over.
