Tips 5/23/13

Hello again,

I just thought of some new tips that you should know for the upcoming year!

Tip 1: Make sure you do laundry regularly.  Laundry will pile up and there are limited washers in every dorm so finding open washers can be a problem.  Try to do laundry at least once a week.  I live in Columbia Hall and there are only five washers for 120 girls, so doing laundry can sometimes be difficult.

Tip 2: Make sure you bring a Fan to college! None of the freshman dorms have air conditioning so the dorms get incredibly hot at the beginning and end of the year.  Elmira can be very hot and humid sometimes, and it is almost impossible to sleep with out a Fan!

Tip 3:  Get used to the bells! Elmira is known for their loud bell tower next to the gymnasium.  The bells go off every fifteen minutes from 8am to 10pm.  At 6:55pm the bells play our alma mater because our college was founded in 1855 and in military time its 18:55.  Our bells also play a song at noon! The first few weeks the bells can become very annoying but you get used to it and pretty soon you will barely hear them at all!

I will post again soon!
