Mosher was a fine dorm for my son. He was on the first floor and it had been remodeled with new flooring. I think the other floors are supposed to. The electrical and HVAC are supposed to be updated too if they have not been already. and the Commons Area is open (not so, when my son was there). There are several ways to configure the furniture in the room so you don’t have to have your bed lofted to nosebleed height.
You share a bath with your roommate and the suitemates. Not an issue at all. The toilet area has a locking door for privacy and the shower has a curtain already. Our room had a cabinet. Bought a shelf to put in the back so would have more storage and one plastic basket to contain smaller stuff.
For the closet, I bought some stackable storage bins and he had two on the floor for linens and it provided a shelf to stack stuff. He also had a 4 shelf Kallax from Ikea. 2 open shelves and 2 cloth bins. There is a dresser but the drawers are not deep. He was close to laundry facility and found a weekday morning was best for laundry when he had a later class. Forget the weekend.
He didn’t get as lucky on the roommate, as the only thing they had in common was not a main interest but something they had both done and there was no connection, mostly on the roommates inability to want to participate. But there were a ton of other kids he met and now lives with 3 others off campus and they are living together next year as well.
The biggest thing is you have to get involved. Even if you don’t join one of the clubs that are competitive to get into, join one that isn’t. Interactions is important. Making friends won’t be the same as in high school and for many engineer types, and even the social ones, you are not with students in class long enough to really connect. There may be 100 of you instead of 30. After 100 days, you have different classes again. The LLC tried with that and it was ok. But it is up to the kids to reach out and become involved.
Fish camp is important too. Your fish camp leader will have group get together’s during Howdy week and throughout the semester. It is nice to do things together on campus as Aggies after having been together at camp as Aggies.
