Although living in a college dorm makes it very hard to find a good place in which to study, living in a dorm has a lot of advantages. When living in a dorm, you are forced to make friends, and get a long with people you never thought you would actually bond with. You learn so much about different cultures, and you learn to tolerate others and incorporate both cultures no matter how much they actually differ. It has been amazing and life changing experience. Although Emory makes it mandatory for both first-year students and second-year students to live in college dorms, I think that if I would have had the option to choose, I would have chosen to live in college dorms. It has impacted me in more ways that anyone would expect. This is where you learn to relate to others and accept them for who they are.
