But what I was most excited for was to have a dorm room to decorate. I would talk with my friends about things we were buying or ideas we had to make our spaces our own. After freshman year I moved from the dorms to a sorority house so I have never experienced living in an apartment, dealing with landlords or fighting with roommates over whose dirty dishes are in the sink. I would love to bring my beloved dog, Quincy, to live with me but having a pet can be more work than you may think — see the story on page 10. While I'm used to living in a house with 80 women, other KU students BY MICHELLE SPREHE msprehe@kansan.com have found it is easier to live with the opposite sex, as in the story on page 8. And if this is your first year moving to your own place, consider some tips from the story on page 15.
