So, Brown? Not so good with first impressions. (Have not had first class yet, I hasten to add.)

I mean, on one hand, the whole, "You're at college. Be free!" thing is really cool, because it can get kind of frustrated to be, you know, ordered around and structured like you're a four-year-old. But on the other hand, especially when you're in a new environment, it can be kind of helpful, because at least you learn where the hell you're supposed to go. Right now all I know is that there are three dining halls, one of which I have been to, one of which is, apparently, next door, and one of which has the sign-ups for, oh yeah, basically the thing I came to this program for: the college visits. Where is it? Not entirely sure. (To be fair, though, I didn't go on the tour. Whoops.) Also, not sure where our class is actually being held, and they misprinted and didn't have enough books, so I have to go by the bookstore and see if the new printings have come in yet.

And the bad side of being in a single and thus, not having a roommmate, is that with a roommate you always have someone to call on and, you know, go places with.

That was one (of the many) thing(s) I liked about CTY -- it was *highly* organized. Though there was a fair degree of choice within the structure.

I see what they're getting at, simulating the "yay! college! free!" thing, but even colleges have a couple of days of orientation, plus more time to get used to it. It's a trade-off.

Misprinting things like that are just a mark of Fail. *prods program sharply*

Do you have an RA-type entity? Those can be helpful, too :)
