The decision to forgo dorm life in college provided the opportunity to concentrate on studies without the distractions from problematic roommate issues. While initially feeling like she was missing out, experiences shared by students revealed that dorm life often involves significant challenges, such as noise disturbances, food theft, and uncooperative living situations. Consequently, this reaffirmed a sense of relief and contentment about the choice to avoid dorm life, which seemed less appealing compared to the idealized versions often depicted in mainstream media.
Many students expressed frustration over their roommate dynamics, sharing experiences of loud guests, stolen food, smoking in their shared spaces, or unfulfilled chores.
Teaching college revealed that reality diverges from the movie portrayal of dorm life; many students voiced their displeasures instead of excitement about their living arrangements.
