IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW:
All 21+ are grouped together. ALL less than 21 are grouped together and put in Wellness apartments. 21+ you can be placed in a wellness if you choose. If you turn 21 while on your program, you have the choice to move to a non-wellness apartment.
WELLNESS LIFE
I chose a wellness apartment. Non-wellness apartments are where you can find big parties. Not all party, lots are like the wellness apartments. It's just hard to find a wellness apartment that was a big party throwing apartment.
I wasn't a big partier. Mostly because I worked nights and because I don't drink that often. Wellness apartments were quieter. You can always go find a party to go to. It's hard to kick people out when you want to sleep.
I also didn't want to stay in an apartment where lots of alcohol was going to be kept. I would rather be on the safe side and have no alcohol rather than risk getting one with lots rather than keeping a little which I would have been fine with.
TIME FOR MANY STORIES
I started out in a 1 bedroom wellness. Well, it so happened that my roommate and his girlfriend both came. He stayed across the hall at his gf's at night. It happened to be that he worked where I did. HE SUCKED. He was 1 reprimand away from being fired in each different category (appearance, job performance, etc.). We didn't get along too well because I yelled at him during work. I ran the kitchen where I worked most of the time.
He got terminated for having guests DRIVE out at 4 am. Security came and woke me up trying to find him. I had that place to myself for a couple of months (or it at least seemed that way, it may have been just a month).
I was to move into another 1 BR wellness. I go in one morning, the guy has both matresses in the living room and is lying there with a girl. There are probally 30 ashtrays filled with butts in the apartment (all apartments are non-smoking). That didn't work so I went to get another place.
I ended up in a 2 BR wellness apartment. A week after I got there, a hole in the wall apeared and 2 of the roommates got the other one kicked out. They had a long history. So it was the 3 of us for a while. We got along pretty well. One of the guys was big into punk rock and was kind of a jerk and was with a different girl most nights plus one that he would go back to if he couldn't find another. We still got along pretty well even though we had our differences.
Then in mid July we got a 4th roommate. He was real strange and quiet. He took our food. He never said a word. I didn't really have a problem with the guy. The punk rock guy was a jerk to him though.
The guy may have been mentally challenged or something. I don't know, but he was a custodial host on Main Street. A little boy dropped his bucket of popcorn, and the roommate walked right thru the mess without sweeping it up.
I got along great with the guy in the 2 BR that I was actually in a room with. We just never got to hang out much. He worked mornings, I worked nights.
I hope I didn't scare you with my stories. I got along with all but my 1st roommate well. We didn't let our differences bother us except for the first guy.
When I went, check in was at PI, but they say it is at Vista Way now. Lots of people found roommates while going to meetings and filling out paperwork at the various clubs, before getting to the housing section.
If you have any more questions, PM me. I am a campus rep and try to keep up to date on what's going on.
. I still have them too!
