When I first came to Morningside as a freshman in 2007, I chose to live on a freshman hall.  I made this choice because I felt it would be better for my college experience during my first year.  But before I came to college, I did not really know what it would be like to live in a dorm building.  It’s true that I had come for a visit day and had spent a night in Dimmitt.  But my choice to live on a freshman hall was largely misguided.
