<p>If not, is it possible to change dorms mid-semester provided the environment prevents you from studying?</p>
<p>Any dorm has the potential to be loud, so it’s best to be prepared. My daughter brought a large desk fan that she used at night to drown out noise. She actually sleeps with the fan on at home too. She also brought earplugs that she had to use on occasion for extra-noisy times. You will find your favorite place(s) to study, which may not be in your dorm. Learning to study with distractions is always a good skill too! And if you find that your dorm is just too noisy, I know you can switch dorms after first semester but I’m not sure about mid-semester. It’s probably possibly but maybe only for the most extreme situations.</p>
