hing but hanging out with new people and making new friends, rush came. Again, for a week I would spend the majority of my time with 600 new girls, most of which lived in my dorm. When Bid Day came it was so exciting to meet all the girls who decided to pledge the same sorority as I did. It came to my surprise that a lot of the girls were ones that I had met before at the dorm. Ever since bid day, I have spent a lot of my time with my pledge sisters but I love the fact that I know three times as many girls that aren’t in my pledge class. If I lived off campus, I would probably not know as many different girls that weren’t in my pledge class. Now I have forty-four new friends that were a lot like me and tons that were completely different. I can definitely say that the best thing about living in the dorm is the different variety of friends you make.Another big plus of living in a dorm is that your closet grows to be about twenty times as big. If you ever get tired of wearing your own clothes, all you have to do is walk down the hall. You can find girls everywhere that want to share their clothes and have the coolest wardrobe. I can honestly say that you would never have to wear the same thing twice if you didn’t want to. What girl doesn’t like that? On top of always having a cute outfit, if you ever need a date, there is always a girl who can set you up with one of her guy friends.Living in a dorm definitely has its disadvantages: sharing a small room, bathrooms, showers, and washing machines. Although all of these things are a burden, the advantages and opportunities that come along with dorm life, without a doubt override the disadvantages. Just from my personal experience and comments made by other girls, I would definitely recommend that every freshman girl live in a dorm. There is nothing that I would take for the different people that I have met and made friends with just by living in the dorm....
