Life in a dormitory can really change a person. Living in such close proximity of so many people of varying backgrounds and, according to some, varying degrees of insanity can and will affect your world, religious, and personal views. Whether you view this as a positive or a negative, there is only one thing that should be noted; be careful which ideologies you accept. Your unique point of view is one of the fundamental things that makes you you and, if you is not careful, you could be lost in the sea of faces. That is not to say learning and adopting views are all bad; on the contrary, it is that very thing that makes college a growing experience. However, when you lose all sense of self just to fit in or to not be viewed as too different, you can inadvertently become another nameless face.
Never lose sight of who you are because, once you lose yourself, you become impossible to find.

Definitely agree with you there. In some ways I would say it may help to live off-campus or to take a year off between high school and college just to get more of a mature handle on oneself.
