 I knew I wanted to live on campus because it was closer to my classes. I could really get involved that way and just meet all of the students and make new friends. The room selection process isn't very difficult. They lay it all out for you. You basically go onto the website when it's your turn to register. They give you your time and you should probably already have a plan ahead with your roommates about what floor you want to be on and what area you want to be towards because your rooms fill up pretty quickly. One of my roommates, my main one, is from Tuscaloosa. We went to high school together and we knew we wanted to live together. But the other two, we knew we wanted to live with people we didn't know probably from out of state just to mix it up and get to know new people. So there is actually a Facebook group. For each year, usually people looking for roommates and coming freshmen. So we joined that and just looked at all the different options and found two girls that we had similar interests shared with them and we started talking and decided we want to be roommates and it worked out really well. It was such a great experience living on campus my freshman year that I knew sophomore year I would have the same great experience and I just love being on campus near all my classes and all the activities. It makes it very convenient. They sent us a bunch of emails about moving on campus second year like they encouraged it. I just decided that it would be the best option for me and my roommates and we love the semester, love being near everything as much as freshman year it's a totally different feel but it's still a great experience.
