I guess there are only a couple people from UW here. Thats alright though. I have a lot of experience when it comes to living situations in college. I lived in the dorms here at UW. I lived in an apartment a couple blocks away down by Chi Psi's. And now I live in a fraternity. Theta Xi. Being a Metallurgical Engineering major, I also have a lot of studying that I need to do. I can tell you that you will be busy all the time. But you get used to it. College isn't suppose to be easy. Besides school, I work on campus, I am the House Manager, and I am the Event Chairman. Its funny though, your days get quicker and quicker. My recommendation... Go for it. It will be one of the greatest decisions in your life. At some points you may regret it, but for the most part, you'll enjoy it. Hope to see you at raids and maybe greek weekend. Want to meet some nice guys that weekend stop by Theta Xi and ask for Jay.
