No Stress in Changing Address



The Western New England University housing selection is in the works for those of us returning next year. I know that when I was a freshman this was a very stressful time (even though it won't happen for you for a few months). I just wanted to take a minute to share some things with you that I wish I would have known.

Don't stress out about finding a roommate who will be your best friend. Friendship is great when it happens, but you really just need someone you can get along with enough to live with. Ask them the important questions (which will change depending on what is important to you). Even if you do happen to end up with a roommate you don't get along with, resident advisers can help you out.

Don't stress about exactly which building/room you get. They do have their differences, but it doesn't really matter in the end. You'll probably make friends in other buildings and end up spending time in all of them, anyway.

Be excited about it! It can be stressful, yes, but this is the next step in starting your college career! :)
