Colleges differ pretty widely.
The college I went to allows small pets in the rooms -- like fish or hamsters -- but the room mates have to agree on the pets. At my sister's college, no pets are allowed. However, at my school, a large amount of professors bring their dogs to work with them
. And frat/sorority houses are allowed to have "mascots" -- one dog or cat.
At my college, students were allowed to move in 2 weeks before school started (although you could live on campus over the summer). My sister's college makes them move in the Friday before school starts.
At my school, we have 2 types of dorms -- one with rooms for 2 people and the whole floor shares a bathroom (all these floors are single-sex) they are numbered as hundred numbers, 1xx first floor, 2xx second floor, etc. The other dorms are suits -- 6 people per suite, individual rooms -- 4-6 suites per floor. They are numbered the same way with the floor as the first number, number of the suite 1-5 as the second number and 0 as the third number. And then the individual rooms are numbered A-F. For example, freshman year, I lived in Staley House 910C and my best friend lived in Taft House 324.
I believe journalism is a 4 year degree, but I am not entirely sure.
Hope this helps,
Laura
