One of the most daunting event during the transition period from high school to college would perhaps be the idea of living a dorm life or student houses. Most of the student would tend to think that they will be on their own, and yet the reality is they are not alone. There would also be other individuals living with them under one accommodation, the dorm. This may thrill other people, while others will surely have some panic attacks. But whatever would be your reaction or perception on the life ahead, here are some things that might help you as you live in one of these student houses.
Student houses have definitely been a popular investment in real estate. However, most investors are mainly concerned on the accommodation and structural part of the business, there are no clear guides on how you should deal with things ones you're under such roof. And perhaps the best thing to do in order to be immediately feel at home in the building, you should make friends fast.
Try to know other people immediately, so that when boredom and homesickness arrives, you will have someone to talk to. However, making friends does not mean that you should be too friendly, try to scrutinize the individual's personality first. Remember that you will be living with them for a long period of time. It's better to have quality friends over quantity.
Lastly, as suggested by howstuffworks, you should not bring everything with you. Bring only the essential stuff that you will be needing. By essential this will not mean you will be including a surround systems speakers with you. This will obviously cause some commotions within the dorm, plus bringing expensive stuff may also lead to some theft concern. Others might even take advantage of your extra loaded stuff and borrow these things without returning them.
