I will be a freshman this coming fall (thats right '04), hopefully at Hampton. I have a problem with living with people. I hate loud music , uncleanliness, late night hours, and other stuff that might not bother other people bothers me. I was wondering if in college especially HBCUS Do the students play loud music? If you are a clean person then how do/did you deal with messy roomate? Are there times when everyone has to be quiet? Are the bathrooms clean and usable?

this reminds me of something that happened my freshman year in college while living in the dorms. one day I walked into the bathroom to wash my hands, and there was the biggest piece of feces i'd ever seen in my life lying right there in the sink. on top of the faucet someone left a sign saying, "look, I've just given birth!!!!!!!!!!!!!". i had nausea for a couple of days after seeing that! but yeah that's how it is living amongst other people. you have to deal with clean and nastiniess from strangers.

~The nasty bathrooms ~Sharing of the room phone ~Stealing "bka" I just borrowed your soap, deodorant, socks...etc ~ When you wanna study he/she wants to party ~ Or you get one of those roommates that comes to school with 4 things a blanket, a cell phone and 1 pair of shoes, couple outfits...forgot all their personals, school supplies, television, etc...but always wants to borrow your things.

LET BE START BY SAYING THAT PEOPLE IN COLLEGE ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IN WHICH YOU ENCOUNTERED IN HIGH SCHOOL. PEOPLE ARE SO IMMATURE AND SOMETIMES THEY WONT RESPECT YOUR AREA AS FAR AS BANGING ON THE DOORS AND PLAYING LOUD MUSIC. AS FAR AS ROOMATES...MY ROOMATE WAS BASICALLY MY BEST FRIEND BEFORE WE GOT THERE AND NOW WE DONT EVEN TALK. ITS GOOD TO KNOW PEOPLE AND STAY WITH THEM, BUT IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE HARD TO MAINTAIN A DECENT RELATIONSHIP.

Dorm life isn't that bad at Spelman. We have quiet hours at night (24 hour quiet hours during reading period and finals), which are enforced with citations and minor fines depending on if you have a strict RA. That may seem a lil strict but you'll appreciate it when you get tired of hearin people's loud music and screamin in the halls all day. The dorms stay pretty clean, atleast mine does. The halls and the bathrooms are cleaned everyday. Thas not to say that you won't end up with a messy roommate, like i had the pleasure :? of ending up with. So overall it's really not all that bad living in a dorm at Spelman.
