Top Piece of Advice for Entering Freshman that is NOT all over this board

First couple weeks in the dorm, keep your door open when you are in your room and not asleep. Kids will be hesitant to knock on a closed door when they first get there (won’t know if you are studying or otherwise occupied). Much more likely to stop by if the door is open. Easier to make friends that way. Once people are settled in and know each other, closed door is less of an issue.
