Things You Should Do in Your First Year of College

Things You Should Do in Your First Year of College

• Your first year of college should be an exciting
  time, reasonably free from the stresses that tend
  to become more frequent as you near your
  graduation date. This should be true whether you
  live off campus or in student housing in
  Peterborough. Students in all types of living
  situation should expect to enjoy (at a minimum)
  all of the following.

Me Time in Your Room

• Your bedroom or apartment should be a sanctuary
  a place you can come back to after a long day
  of classes and a spot where you can chill at the
  weekends. You should never feel uncomfortable
  where you live. Heading off to the library every
  time you want to study or seeking out other
  places when you want to relax is a warning sign
  that somethings wrong.

Socializing at Home

• Its fun to head over to your friends dorms or
  apartments to hang out, but your friends should
  feel equally welcome at your place. Its normal
  for one friends room to become the main hangout
  spot at college, but you should still expect to
  entertain at your place at least sometimes.
  Similarly, you should be able to bring your dates
  back to your room as often as you go to theirs.

5
Enjoying the Occasional Culinary Treat

• When school starts feeling overwhelming, an easy
  way to take the edge off your stress is with your
  favourite food. Unfortunately, this is only
  possible if you know that your groceries are safe
  from stealing hands. There should also be space
  in the kitchen for you to cook whenever you want,
  with no need to clean up someone elses mess,
  first.

Studying in Peace

• If you live on campus, its unreasonable to
  expect quiet all the time. Youre going to hear
  noise coming from others rooms people are
  going to want to play music and talk on the
  phone, for instance. The problem is when its in
  your own room and the noise is too loud for you
  to focus. College should be about having fun, but
  its also essential to study hard if youre going
  to graduate. This means finding peace whenever
  you need it throughout your first year.

• If youre missing out on any of the above, you
  may have a roommate problem. Its time to start
  looking for apartments to rent in Peterborough,
  Ontario. Those students should check out Severn
  Court Student Residence. Youll have your own
  space, but youll also be able to continue the
  college experience by living around other
  students.
