Many students expect their life, on their own, to be paradise. Living free of their parent's reign, students move into dormitories [a resident hall providing rooms for individuals or for groups usually without private baths(Merrium-Webster)]. Life without curfews and many "house" rules would seem to be a student's first taste of being an adult. Living in the dorms is the biggest hardship and challenge for most freshman students in transition from home to college life not to mention the life of living on campus period.

Green Hall for example, the room is 10'3"(w) x 17'10"(L) and the windows are 4'2"(w)x 4'8"(H) (ECU). The limited and small refrigerator's are a task also. Through experience, the actual size of the freezer can hold seven hot pockets. Another proble
