Title: Campus Life.

Roommates
If there's one thing students are the most anxious about, it's meeting their new roommate. What
will he or she be like? Will we get along? What if we are complete opposites?
A great way to break the ice before move-in day is to contact your roommate via e-mail or
Facebook before you even set foot on campus. Eventually, you'll be able to find out likes,
dislikes, or even what he or she plans to bring for the room in the fall. Also, it will be helpful to
have someone on campus that you've already talked with--even if it means just going to the first
few freshman social events together

Title: A Place to Live Greenly

A new Canadian dormitory offers students a chance to be part of an environmentally friendly
community
He is one of seven students living here in the university's first dormitory devoted to "sustainable
living." The residence, which opened last fall, is one of the first in Canada to give students the
opportunity to make environmentally conscious daily choices, such as drying their clothes on
lines outside or turning down the heat in their bedrooms. In that way it differs from the large
energy-efficient "green" dormitories increasingly being built on campuses. No matter how
environmentally sound a large dorm is, says Mr. Mazer, it is "just a bed to sleep in. This is about
behavior and lifestyle."

Title: It's What You Didn't Think Of

Storage containers. Not only do students haul all of their worldly possessions to and from
school each year, but their dorm rooms often have skimpy dressers and closets. Plastic drawers
that stack or slide under beds can mean the difference between total chaos and a reasonably
organized wardrobe. Hooks, coat racks, and laundry baskets also help.
