Holly's helpful hints

Careers and Colleges, March, 2002

Holly Winstanley, a freshman at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, offers these tips for better dorm living:

* E-mail your roommate before freshman arrival day. Decide who will bring the larger items--fridge, stereo, carpet.

* Don't bring things you won't use on a regular basis. Dorms don't have extra storage room.

* Make your dorm homey so you don't rush home. "You might be homesick at the beginning," says Winstanley, "but this will Pass."

* Buy a wall calendar. Highlight important dates--especially exams.
