Blues pinkss She can wear HEADPHONES or TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. She KNOWS that someone is sleeping, and I bet college students need as much sleep as possible.
as somebody who lived in the dorms and is now living off campus in a house, my advice is to BUY AN ELECTRIC KETTLE. you will use this for everything (oatmeal, tea, jell-o shots, sugar wax, you name it). i still use it to this day and they’re pretty affordable.
@@lydiac9758 a what? Is that those coffee machines that you have to use paper cups for ? I think I've misread my dorm policy anyways . Kettle not allowed in your room but you can have one in the kitchens lol
Have you thought about doing a video about what to pack clothes wise for college? I have seen lots of videos about what to pack but rarely see any about clothes!
I got a reusable metal water bottle from target and it's made by a company called [proof] and it is SO GOOD. I did a little experiment and I put ice water in it and left it in a hot car all day and overnight and in the morning it still had ice in it and was super cold. If you're looking for a bottle that's one I highly recommend!!
As an RA another thing that you can do is talk to your ra if you are having problems with your roommate(s). We can always have a chat with the roommate for you or even just give you advice on how to deal with it. Our job is to make your time on campus as easy and fun as possible
i FEEL u on your freshman year roommate experience !! i had a very similar experience where my roommate was not the most considerate about others around her and we did not speak unless necessary, and she did end up moving out at the end of the fall semester. i lived alone for the rest of my freshman year & ended up loving it!! so to any incoming freshman, don’t think you and your roommate must be bffs, and you do not need a roommate to get the full college experience!
that was such a big room! you're so lucky! i'm gonna be living in san francisco in less than a month(so excited!) with 2 other girls(we were randomly put together) and from the text conversations that we've had, we've hit it off really well. we're all contributing to different items and it's going so good. haven't met them yet but hopefully we'll all have a great 9 months living together. speaking this into existence.
These are such good tips! I had a very similar experience with my roommate freshman year and it was kind of a bummer but really helped me learned to live with someone :) Oh and the cleaning your room and making your bed everyday tip is SO important and nice to come home and be stress free!
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
when you said you got your backpack and went straight to your friend’s room until like eleven I FELT THAT. the only difference is that i’m not a freshman in college but a senior in boarding school. it sucks so much because there isn’t no communication with two out of three roommates and it’s so horrible. :(
I'll be starting my junior year of college this fall and 100% agree with everything you said!! My dorm experience was identical to yours and all the tips you gave makes the whole process a lot better.
also if you can get a water bottle with a filter on it, it is literally the best thing i own and its good for the environment because you're not using plastic:) amazon has great ones for really cheap
Oh my I just finished my first year off college and the same situation happened to me. I honestly hated freshman year of college because of my roommate.
Advice for roommates, if you have issues with your roommate, talk to them about it. Then if it doesn't get resolved talk to your RA. If you are still having problems do NOT be afraid to switch rooms. I had a toxic roommate first semester of freshman year and we both decided that it would be better that she moved out (as she already had another room to go to, if she didn't I would have left)
Had the same exact freshman year dorm experience. My random roommate would always watch and listen to music loud without wearing any headphones. I also never got the room to myself bc she was always in her bed watching Netflix!! So aggravating, I’m getting a single sophomore year!
I’m going to be a senior in hs and I went to my schools college fair and Syracuse was there lol. I remembered you went there and checked it out and they actually have the programs I’m looking for so thank you! I probably wouldn’t have looked bc it’s 6 hours away if I didn’t remember your videos.
I’m glad you feel the same way as me that there’s nothing wrong with going random or picking a roommate-either could go wrong.😂 I decided to go random and I find out my roommate August 1st but so many of my friends found their roommates on Facebook and have already gotten to know them pretty well so I was getting nervous
I studied abroad for a year and can totally relate to that awkward roommate situation. I was the one early to bed and rise and she would sleep from like 4am- 2pm. It was terrible. So uncomfortable
I had a similar situation freshman year. it's so hard to know when to say something vs. keeping the peace lol. love this video and these glasses, Margot!
Ahhh!! I move into my dorm in 2 weeks. I'm so excited, but nervous. It's hard to believe I'm already at this stage in my life. I remember thinking high school would go by slow.
I know this is a year late but that’s so crazy, I chose my school at the very last minute as well (had a dorm and roomate ready at the other school all lined up) then went random at my current school, and got placed in a triple that was also a converted study... crazy
I will be a Sophomore next year and dorm life was interesting...I COMPLETELY agree with the people on your sheets thing! I HATE that and I get grossed out too, so you're not the only one! I'm also so sorry you had a bad first year with your roommate. My roommate and I got along fine and didn't have any fights or anything but we weren't really friends so that was kind of weird. I do also wish that I had told her some things that bothered me like her slamming the drawers in the morning and turning on the overhead light when I was asleep, but you know, I was too scare too!
I was binge watching all of your college videos yesterday (i’m an incoming college freshman) and it seems like you read my mind with this one! love you margot!
Hey Margot, amazing video as usual:) I was wondering if u could make a video on your blog; why you started it, how you did it, and tips and tricks for beginner bloggers (like myself)
i did a summer college program for a week and just in that short time dorming i HAD to buy the phone wallet you mentioned... it was so helpful for my room key, mta card, etc. definitely agree it’s a need
omhinhyun most Australian uni students still live at home so we will literally show up for our class and then leave, the community just isn't there. We don't really have sporting teams at all and when you enrol for uni you enrol into your degree rather than applying just for the university
Same for New Zealand university! Either single or double rooms, same sex. Or like me: never lived in any halls (we don't call them dorms)... I lived in a "private" rental the whole time. We rented a house and shared it with others. I had some amazing and really nasty flatmates!
Same as UK . There is sort of a community I suppose but in the uni closest to me nooo one stays at the weekend. But there's no sororities, and you're in separate rooms in halls but you have a communal kitchen and living room . But the night life is so much better round where I live
I didn't know camelbak had that type of bottle!! I had the one with the straw thing and I was scared of it growing mold bc I couldn't figure out how to wash it😂
okay i might be dumb but i can't figure out how the storefront works? i keep trying to click on your face on the peer page thing but nothing happens i don't know if it's supposed to? aha whoops. also LOVE this video I'm going to be a freshman in college in the fall and this was super helpful!!!
this was SO helpful... thank you so much!!! as an incoming freshman its super overwhelming trying to get everything figured out. thanks for the great advice!!!
One of my main questions that I had about my dorm next year is if I should loft my bed or not. I’ve heard a lot of mixed comments on it but I can’t figure out what to do ! loved your video btw :)
Same freshmen dorm experience but I had 3 roommates. My 3rd one was fine but the other two I always just went to my friend's dorms until I went to bed. It sucked but we made it work
RLY IMPORTANT QUESTION: do the pens bleed through?? lmao..also I'm going into my freshman yr with a random triple and I'm kinda nervous but ur videos have been so helpful!!
Your roommate sounds rude like it’s just generally like a rule to not come home at 3 and watch tv like... go to bed bruh
my roommate freshman year would come home and do laundry at 3am... it was absolute HELL
yea theres awkward and then theres weird bitch
She can watch tv if she wants not everyone can sleep the same time you can. And its not rude. Leave her alone.
Blues pinkss She can wear HEADPHONES or TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. She KNOWS that someone is sleeping, and I bet college students need as much sleep as possible.
Good job you got 1k likes

My uni has an electric kettle on the not allowed list 😢 no tea 😢no coffee
Maddy Mcg get a keurig lol
@@lydiac9758 a what? Is that those coffee machines that you have to use paper cups for ? I think I've misread my dorm policy anyways . Kettle not allowed in your room but you can have one in the kitchens lol
I wonder if her freshman roommmate watched this haha
So weird but her voice sounds so good
I totally get it. I thought I was the only one who thought so. But it's like nice to listen to.
Have you thought about doing a video about what to pack clothes wise for college? I have seen lots of videos about what to pack but rarely see any about clothes!
Your dorm was HUGE! It reminds me of the Harry Potter dorms in the movies

FACTS
@@zaireandrew4212 yesh you just need to pay $15 for the code then it reveals it
That card holders are such a lifesaver but NEVER buy them. You’ll get so many at school events/clubs
that was such a big room! you're so lucky! i'm gonna be living in san francisco in less than a month(so excited!) with 2 other girls(we were randomly put together) and from the text conversations that we've had, we've hit it off really well. we're all contributing to different items and it's going so good. haven't met them yet but hopefully we'll all have a great 9 months living together. speaking this into existence.
noelia aleman ahh Im actually gonna be living in SF in a month too for college! I’m gonna be in a triple as well so hopefully all goes well🤞🏽🤞🏽

im going to be a freshman and im so awkward so im worried im just going to be hella awkward around my roommate
Sarah Makenna you’ll get used to it, in the end it will just be like another best friend. Also she will be feeling just the same❤️
How is it going now?
I'll be starting my junior year of college this fall and 100% agree with everything you said!! My dorm experience was identical to yours and all the tips you gave makes the whole process a lot better.
I always used to watch these but it’s like finally applicable to me this year cuz I’m starting college in the fall. thank you
also if you can get a water bottle with a filter on it, it is literally the best thing i own and its good for the environment because you're not using plastic:) amazon has great ones for really cheap
this is so useful! I'm moving in a month and I just want to be as prepared as possible and this vid just saved my life!

I can't find any of the products you mentioned in the storefront
same and i really want that cup

I just graduated college, I didn't stay in a dorm but your suggestions are generally spot- on! I loved all of your must haves!
love your glasses!
Porter Stracke probably from eyebuydirect.com

i dont know why, but i EAT UP your college videos. like im obsessed. they also make me really excited for the fall and feel sorta prepared :)

I’m going to uni in september and i REALLY NEEDED THIS!!! Ly Margot xx

Girl this is exactly what I needed rn - gonna b a freshman this year and highkey stressing about over packing and dorm life
god damn when you talk it makes me smile so much! I just love your accent :) (from the north of England btw)
I'm so obsessed with her voice
you seem so put together & grounded-you are honestly my inspiration 💜
I was binge watching all of your college videos yesterday (i’m an incoming college freshman) and it seems like you read my mind with this one! love you margot!
I live about an hour from Syracuse and I’m going to go visit the college soon!
can you link all the specific items you got in the description?
aw my best friend goes to syracuse and i just had my audition there, maybe i’ll be comin on down soon!
This was one of the first actually helpful dorm/college videos
This was so helpful since I'm going to be a freshman in college this upcoming year! Please do more college advice videos!
Hey Margot, amazing video as usual:) I was wondering if u could make a video on your blog; why you started it, how you did it, and tips and tricks for beginner bloggers (like myself)
I can’t believe you don’t have at least 1m subs
Wish I’d had this last year!! After living in a dorm I can definitely say this video is super helpful!
Going to Boise State next spring so excited
wow your aesthetic makes me so happy
can you make a sweater collection video? all of them look so cozy and comfortable
i did a summer college program for a week and just in that short time dorming i HAD to buy the phone wallet you mentioned... it was so helpful for my room key, mta card, etc. definitely agree it’s a need
My colleges here don’t have dorms but I love watching your college videos! ❤️
So sad I never went to a US college, university in Australia just isn't the same
Nikki Marie how's it different. seems interesting
omhinhyun most Australian uni students still live at home so we will literally show up for our class and then leave, the community just isn't there. We don't really have sporting teams at all and when you enrol for uni you enrol into your degree rather than applying just for the university

I’m honestly scared that my roommate is gonna try to kill me 😂😂 idk why it’s just you don’t really know the person uk?
Thank you so much for the tips! I'm going to be a freshman at Syracuse and this video definitely helped ease my nerves and get me more excited!
your videos are so entertaining and cute. nothing elaborate at all but i feel like they are all on a personal level. love u
Thank you for this video!! I’m heading to college this August for the first time, and these tips will be life savers! 💓
I didn't know camelbak had that type of bottle!! I had the one with the straw thing and I was scared of it growing mold bc I couldn't figure out how to wash it😂
Hailey DeMello I would say for stuff like that soak it in viniger and soap or just bleach and hot water then rinse it
I'm looking for the planner and can't find it on your storefront! great video regardless, awesome that you got to work with Amazon :)
I know right I'm looking for it too!
how do u set up your projector??? do u hang up a sheet or just one the wall? and what surface do u set yours on???
This is exactly the video I needed since I move in for my freshman year in less than a month!!! love you so much!
okay i might be dumb but i can't figure out how the storefront works? i keep trying to click on your face on the peer page thing but nothing happens i don't know if it's supposed to? aha whoops. also LOVE this video I'm going to be a freshman in college in the fall and this was super helpful!!!
Camila Hey! How are you?
Really enjoyed this video! It’s definitely different from the other college dorm tips I’ve seen. Thank youuuuu!

One of my main questions that I had about my dorm next year is if I should loft my bed or not. I’ve heard a lot of mixed comments on it but I can’t figure out what to do ! loved your video btw :)
This is so helpful for me as an up-coming freshman haha, I wish my room could be like your freshman room! It looked so nice!
She is organized !!!!
Same freshmen dorm experience but I had 3 roommates. My 3rd one was fine but the other two I always just went to my friend's dorms until I went to bed. It sucked but we made it work
