What are some college Do's and Don'ts?
Hello! I've applied and been accepted into 8 colleges, but I'm set on attending the University of North Texas and majoring in biochemistry! My best friend is leaning toward enrolling at UNT as well, and we plan to dorm together if she goes with me. We've been looking at dormitories and room layouts and I think we've settled on where we want to apply for housing at. However, what I'm still pondering is what should and shouldn't I do as an incoming college freshman? This will be my first time away from home for such a long time and I want to be well-prepared for the adventure . Any advice or words of wisdom is very appreciated, thank you !!

What are some things (warnings, benefits, advice, tips) I should consider about staying in a dorm. as an undergraduate student?

Living on campus or living off campus?
When coming to college, money is the biggest problem for me. I feel like living on campus is way better because all my resources are around me but I don't have enough money to live on campus.

I do not want to take out many loans, but I want to experience the college life and become independent. #college #money #dorms #university #financial #help

Should I make my roommate aware of my depression, social anxiety, and odd behaviors caused by medication?
Part of me feels like it's my business and that I shouldn't have to tell them extremely personal things but I know the medication causes my eating habits to be extremely weird, mood swings, and on occasions, twitching. I feel that I would appreciate having some sort of warning if my roommate had issues that could affect behavior but I realize that my thoughts are not universal.
