Living on Campus

Living on campus wasn't that bad, at all. Going into it I was expecting a lot worse. However, I ended up with an awesome roommate, which made it that much better. The dorm that I lived in was very secure. You had to swipe your UT id to enter the building, the lobbies, and the elevators. Also, girls could only swipe to girls floors and boys to boys. It was very secluded, and someone was working the desk 24/7. The worst part was the community bathrooms. Sometimes, the cleaning lady would have it closed for hours at a time, and you would have to go all the way to the other side of the building to shower, use the restroom, or even brush your teeth. It was nice that the dorms weren't too expensive and covered by my financial aid. Also, I liked how everyone on my floor got along. We all hung out and spoke to each other everytime we saw each other. It was almost like we were a family. It was like that just about everyone in my dorm though, even the guys. We all took trips to iHop and to the cafeterias and we had about a weekly game of volleyball outside.with Overall, the only thing that I didn't like about dorms were the community bathrooms, everything else was fine.
