College

[KarnEvil9]

Hey, anyone else at college now? I just got here today for my awesome freshman year. Gotta just figure out how to get private internet wired to my dorm so I can keep torrenting. D: Fecking use policy.

[Cathy]

Not yet, lol at your policy.

[Boink]

I dont leave for another week but my best friend leaves tomorrow so its all really hitting me today. What college are you attending and what for?

Im going to McDaniel, its a small liberal arts school. Im going to Bio / PreMed in hopes to become a plastic surgeon one day. Im panicking, because Im very antisocial and i dont want to leave my cat, or my boyfriend >_<

I go to college next year. I'm staying out to enjoy my life out of school. Get a job, and party.

[Bunneh]

I'm leaving on Friday to get everything moved in. Sucks to be you; my dorm has a high speed ethernet outlet in every room, plus wifi all over campus. And no real use policy that is actually enforced.

Just graduated in May myself. Never could get around the downloading blocks. I didn't really know about rapidshare and the like back then, so those might have worked, but I basically just kept changing programs till they blocked me out of all the ones I knew bittorrent, DC++, limewire, soulseek, I'm sure there were a couple more too. Make friends off campus , it will be useful lol.

I don't remember how they did it,
but several guy-friends of mine managed to get their own private interwebs.
Of course they shared it between the four of them.
Ask your dorm head?




dorm life wears off after the first few months,
and then it sucks!

I personally avoided the fiasco all together,
and choose to stay at home.


Elevators are always breaking,
(if your dorms have them)
People are always blaring music of some kind,
(mostly rap, ick)
and then there's that freshman 15.

gl on your first year?



what are you looking to major in?

I enjoyed dorm life much better than I would have if I had lived at home. (I couldn't live at home and go to the school I went to at the same time anyway). Though I probably would have moved out as an upperclassmen, part of my scholarship went towards dorm housing...so I stayed. There are some sucky things. Broken elevators if you have them yes (though we almost ALWAYS had one of them working in my freshman dorm due to having 8 floors, the other dorms didn't have elevators), dumb drunk people, loud music, communal bathrooms (my least favorite), yes yes. However, generally upperclassmen dorms become better and better (junior and senior year, I lived in an apartment dorm on campus with 3 other friends and sophomore year I live in a suite style dorm--4 rooms, 2 people each, one double bathroom). And it was really nice being sort of independent and being able to do what I wanted without my parents around to watch over me and tell me no.

We have a backbone here, internet is like a rocket but yeah... wish I could torrent.

Wish I had an IT department like yours. Ours contracts this outside company to filter EVERYTHING we do. First offense, you lose net for the semester. Second offense, you lose net FOR EVER.

I dunno, maybe I will try. Our dorm life is pretty sick really, I'm in a suite of rooms on the ground floor, its sick. Music is a non-issue, strictly enforced study hours.

Thanks for the Luck.

My housing is sick, suit like yours minus the two people per, plus a living room and two bathrooms and a kitchen.
