4.       What’s the best part about living in the Dorms?

I have a great roommate, the people in my dorm are pretty chill, and I’ve made a lot of friends in my dorm.  Also the rooms are a lot bigger than I expected.

Soccer, I’ve always loved playing it since I was 10.

Ramunto’s, their pizza is probably the best pizza I’ve ever had!
