<p>stanley, i think you should give it a try. i’m an only child and really hated the idea of leaving my big room/single bathroom and all my stuff at my house. but living in the dorms really isn’t THAT bad. remember, people love to complain. you rarely hear all the good stuff. not living in a dorm, it’s going to be really hard for you meet people and make new friends. if you give it a try, just for one semester–only four months of your life-- you can meet a ton of people and experience college the way it’s meant to be experienced. then you can make an informed decision (the way adults should) about where you want to live in the future.</p>
