While freshman year dorm assignments are great in itself, allowing people to meet new people and form groups via Montserrat and Orientation groups, you can choose who you live with and where you live in the years following. I definitely jumped on this, because I had great friends that would basically take up an entire Healy floor.

On Friday, my friends and I came into one of our dorms, and we debriefed the previous academic week and talked about some things we\u2019d love to do with our time in the dorm \u2013 because there was NO chance we were leaving! We watched <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top-Gun<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top-Gun: Maverick<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> because who can\u2019t get enough of Tom Cruise?
