BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITYYour University

Ear By: Crystal Minzola

Freshman

• Moving into college is exciting ! Don’t be nervous, at first if your unsure chat it up with a roommate or new friend . I’m sure they can relate.

• The day I moved into Bloomsburg , I was so nervous. My roommate and I had different taste and I thought that we would have nothing in common. However, after getting to know her a little better I found out we did share similar interests.

Dorm Rooms

Your dorm is your canvas. Decorations tell a lot about who you are to people passing by. Pictures, Posters, and Organization are all helpful for new found friends to figure you out.

Give people a little insider of who you are by sharing some pictures of you and your friends from home.

Pictures of you and your friends can tell a lot about your personality.

Here are some examples of the rooms I looked at .

Time is Crucial • One of the toughest

obstacles of being a freshman is managing time.

• Studying should be our top priority but with everything going on it can sometimes be hard to focus.

• After interviewing several students at BU, I learned that most students spend more time socializing than studying.

• Studying is important. You have to set time aside for your studies.

• In order to have the optimal BU experience it is necessary to have a healthy balance between friends and school work

What’s there to do at BU ?

• Bloomsburg offers a wide variety of clubs and organizations for you to get involved in and expand your resume !
