That's good to hear! I'm home for the summer but next year I'm living in a 4 bedroom townhouse with 4 other guys that lived on my floor. None of them are practicing Christians. One of them actually got all awkward when he saw my Bible on my nightstand last year in the dorm, so I dunno about them. It's really tough to find Christians on my campus
I hear you there. My school has some Christian organizations but not many are interested in it.
I actually am the president of one Christian organization and I'm the only member still active! My minister and I are trying to get more people involved but so far no sucess.
I'd just look at the organizations on your campus that you might be interested in and attend a meeting or two and see if you like it. I'm a part of two Christian clubs on my campus and that's fine with me.
As far as 8am's go.. I think next fall I have one 8am Mondays and Wednesdays, and then just a 9:30am class Tuesdays and Thursdays. I would say avoid them if you can but like everyone has been saying, sometimes you can't. I don't know how it is at other schools, but at my school freshmen are the last to schedule classes so they usually get stuck with 8am classes that no one else wanted. Everyone will end up taking an 8am eventually.
Plus it could be worse. You could have a three hour 8am science lab on Mondays. A friend of mine had that happen to her and she hated the professor too. So she wasn't too pleased.
And roomates, well, I've had a different roomate every single semester I've been at my school.
My first one went to live with another girl, the second one would be really rude to be and insult me daily to the point I had to sleep with my friend in another dorm, my third one had an anger management problem, and my fourth one already had made plans to room with another girl in the fall of 07.
However my third roomate, dispite the anger problem we were pretty good friends. She decided to transfer to another school though because my school didn't have her real major.
My fourth one I think we are still friends, but we spent too much time together as roomates sometimes and we both saw that. We ended up fighting over little things a lot. But when we wern't fighting things were great.
My advice for roomates, if you becomes friends with him or her, don't spend all your time with them as this will probably annoy them. And if you guys start fighting or something serious happens between the two of you, get out of there and switch roomates.
I kind of liked having roomates because you always had someone there to talk to. And actually, three out of my four roomates were Christians, even though sometimes they didn't act that way at all but that's just my opinion.
Singles do cost more though, which is why I couldn't ever get one. I'm actually living in sort of an apartment type of housing on my campus with an international student. I have no idea where this girl is going to come from but I did request Germany. I'm looking forward to meeting whoever it is. I am a little nervous though as most people are when it comes to meeting a roomate for the first time but it's only because I don't know what to expect.
