Yeah.
Think about it.
BEFORE: You live with your mom, dad, or other parental units. Maybe some sisters, brothers, pets, etc.
DORM: You live with hundreds or thousands of complete strangers.
BEFORE: You share a bedroom with a brother or sister or nobody.
DORM: You share a bedroom with a complete stranger. Maybe two of them. Maybe even more.
BEFORE: You share a bathroom with a couple of people.
DORM: You share a bathroom with a ton of complete strangers.
BEFORE: Parent does your laundry. Parent provides food. Parent tells you what time to be home. Parent gives you punishment when you mess up.
DORM: Its all up to you.
Living in a dorm is a completely unique experience. Its often the first time you live away from home, and all of a sudden youre rooming with hundreds or even thousands of people your age with different personalities and from different backgrounds. It can be fun. Or not.

What to bring for your room (and what not to bring!)
Dealing with annoying roommates!
Decorating your room!
Romance!
Homesickness!
Sharing bathrooms with strangers!
