I just wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to the W200 ladies of Hillcrest, who have been nothing but sweethearts since I moved in. I highly suggest getting to know your floor. As the year pushes forward there will be hall meetings, events, and you may find yourself needing some math help from an engineering major three doors down.
There are a few I’ve gotten close enough to that I call them my roommates on phone calls home despite living in a single. They’re a great way to start networking, especially if they’re older and willing to introduce you to some of their friends.
And honestly, don’t be a follower. If everyone closes his or her door then you just make it an even bigger point to leave yours open. People will stop by. I promise you. Even if it’s a complete mess inside.

College is all about networking and meeting people (when you’re not studying and going to class). Don’t think because you don’t share any classes or majors that you can’t be good friends.  As of now, only two people in my friend group share my major, and only one of them has a class with me.  It makes it much more interesting when you aren’t all copies of one another. So seriously, say hello to your neighbors. Bake them a pie. Offer to babysit their goldfish.

Check out the video to meet a few of my hall mates and see how easy it is to get to know them!
