Tons of Drinking in the Dorms
Regardless of what anyone says, 8 out of 10 people drink in dorm rooms. Sometimes you get a chill RA, and sometimes your screwed with a strict RA. But if they catch you, you will get written up... that's why I moved off campus.

Horrendous Parking
Trying to find a parking space on campus is ridiculous at best. Trying to find a close parking space on campus is next to impossible. My advice: take the bus.

Rainy and Snowy
It always rains... always. My advice: buy rain boots and a long winter coat, they will be the best investments you make in college. The first day of Spring is always the highlight of the entire year when everyone lays outside on the nice green grass.
