Living the Dorm Life!

Many high school students love the idea of being away from home.

Dymani Poyser, a SUNY Brockport student agrees.

“I’ve lived in the worst dorms on campus since my freshman year,” said Poyser.

Poyser said, “Dobson and Mortimer Halls, I think, are the worst dorms on campus. Maintenance never fixes anything on time and the place is very small compared to what people make it out to be.”

Poyser hates the dorms he has chosen but he blames his friends for that because they were the ones who suggested he live with them.

“I would change a lot about the living arrangement. There are bunk beds and the closet door is hanging on by its thread. I’ve had it fixed twice but it’s in shambles. The desks are big which takes a lot of space in such a small room,” said Poyser.

Poyser said, “It would be nice for everyone to have singles, maintenance that works on time, and good heating.”

“Residential Life got me away from being at home, I will always be happy about that, but it’s a crappy living arrangement. But it’s also fun sometimes to see drunk people acting silly and all the shenanigans that takes place in the dorms,” said Poyser.

Poyser does not plan on living on campus next year because, “I have to pay $3,700 a semester and I could pay less off campus. Also, it would be nice not to have somebody looking over my shoulder.”

Poyser believes that incoming freshmen should be aware that the room that they were showed during orientation is not the type of room some students will be living in.
