LOL......kids today is SOFT. You should have seen the dorms at Tuskegee! AC? Microwaves? Not even an option. Hell ladies, if you hooked up a hair dryer, there goes the fuse, no power! Then there's a search of the rooms to find out who killed the fuse! HBCU's will kill that sense of entitlement QUICK!
Welcome to college boo boo! Your room is DOPE compared to some other HBCUs I've seen. Shoot...I would love to have had AC and a bathroom in my room! Remember you are there for the education and the experience! Soak it up! (Shout outs to my Hampton University Pirates!)
Representing the "old school" (A&T Class of 92 & Grad Class of 95), I felt the exact same way upon arriving to Scott Hall, the oldest dorm on the East Coast at the time, in the Fall of 88. I felt much better when I met my roommate and we started tripping on what the dorm didn't have. That conversation was as comforting as my mommy & daddy's house that seemed so far away, though it was only 100 miles. I just reconnected w/ my roommate recently & we laughed for hours like that first day at A&T!
Smh, it looked like she was about to cry when she saw that room though...this is a great series. I will be a freshman at A&T this fall, it's nice to see others experiences before i get there.
This series - especially this installment - took me back to my first days in college. As Kaiya walked into her dorm, I recalled walking into my dorm (Drew Hall, Howard University). Still wouldn't change anything about it. Plus, Kaiya's room was not that bad! Heck, they had air conditioning and a refrigerator - luxuries! I look forward to part three. Great work, Alumni Roundup!
I will be a FTIC Freshman at NCAT Fall 2012 and I really enjoyed this project. The whole process is nerve racking, but looking at someone that will be exactly like me, gives me a little bit more reassurance of leaving Baltimore and joining Aggieland. Thank you and if we could continue this series with different people and Kaiya it would be greatly appreciated. =)
I love how the parents said, "If you want it changed, it's on you." Day 1; Step 1 in being independent ;-)

Again, very well done. LOL @ her face after seeing the room... Jeez. She was perturbed to say the least.
