The 3 big questions

What surprised me?

One of the things that surprised me after doing research was finding out that the students in my dorm use their study lounges. After talking to students from other dorms, I realized that the lounges are not used very often for studying. It's nice to discover that the students in my dorm take advantage of the space that Ball State has provided for us. Although this is a small fact to discover, I believe it might say something about the students in Studebaker East and how they strive to achieve their best when it comes to grades.

What intrigued me?

I was intrigued at how dorm life might affect my life later on at Ball State. I wondered if living in the dorm would hinder me in some ways or strengthen me in others. After doing this paper, I think it is clear that dorm life may not be for everyone, but I believe the immersion in something like this can benefit almost anyone and teach them things they may not learn otherwise.

What disturbed me?

I was disturbed to discover how rude some people can really be. After doing some research throughout the dorm, I talked to a lot of different people and they told me stories of how loud people are at night or how disrespectful room mates can be. Problems are bound to arise, but I was a little shocked to see how many problems there really were.
