My daughter will be a freshman this year and the cost of her dorm room and meal ticket is 4900 bucks a semester.
If you don't have a friend to room with, they have match.com type app the school uses that the kids can sign up for. You put in like/dislike info and it matches you with similar interests. My daughter found her roommate that way - I guess we will find out in about a week how it works.
I was in Hamlin; the biggest dump in the academic world. RIP, Hamlin.
I was in Duggar my freshman year. Great year.
I live 4.5 miles from MSU -- I have no intention of my grand daughter ever living in a dorm..... #HAILSTATE......
Critz for me in '71. After my roommate dropped out after one semester (partying was a GPA killer) I moved off campus and stayed in trailers or apartments except one semester in Hamlin ( yes, it was a dump). Met some cool guys in the dorms but I loved the free style of living off campus.
Sessums then Suttle and finally Evans for me. Took the "pot luck" roommate freshman year and lucked up with a guy from California. Quite the experience and it turned out great. Met some life long friends that freshman year.
I guess I should have figured that there would be something like that now. That sounds like a great solution.
And just a side story about going pot luck. My oldest brother was a freshman at State in '94 and he went pot luck.....his roommate was a complete weirdo and got caught with a pipe bomb in his backpack while on campus which resulted in my brother being interrogated by the FBI.
Yea, Hamlin was north of Sessums on Barr Avenue, then the 4 freshmen dorms and then Shuttle. All but Critz is gone today. Back in the day, there was no air conditioning in the freshmen dorms and it was hot as hell. Freshmen were happy to move up to Hamlin & Shuttle just because of the AC (although the buildings used the old water cooler systems it was a lot cooler than the freshmen dorms.
I lived in Hull freshman year. It was really a great experience. Ate most of my meals at Perry and there was never a lack of someone to walk over with.
I was there then and remember hearing rumor of it. I was a Frosh in '91, lived in Sessums with one of the few other Cobb Co., GA guys. It was freaking Animal House. Lived in a boomerang first half of Soph year then moved to frat house for second half. My first 2 years I majored in party with a 2.2.
