1. By joining a sport will it be too stressful in college?
By joining a sport it can benefit a student by allowing them to choose their classes first and they can take the classes that most people can't do, due to a waiting list. Playing a sport can help a student graduate faster due to the classes the scholar athelete gets to choose to take before anyone else.Student atheletes have counselors as well unlike some other students attending normally without any extra curriculars, which will help guide students who are unsure of what to do. They have study halls and their sports schedule works around and doesn't interfere with their academic courses. Another benefit for playing a college sport while taking studying in a college course can create memories and more friends due to the scholar athelete having their team. According to a few friends of mine who are presently in college say the more people you get to know in college the more memories you will create and the more comfortable you will feel.
2. Should I dorm with someone I already know or with a total stranger?
Dorming with a friend would be nice because you are already comfortable knowing them but most college students say dorming with a total stranger is even better. Dorming with someone you don't necessarily know creates a bond and allows students to open up outside of their shell. Besides after the first couple of weeks rooming with them you will have already gotten the chance to know and spend time with them creating a closer friendship. Some college students I have spoken to that dorm with a stranger is beneficial because you get to tell secrets and gossip with them because they don't know anyone else that you might know which is true and kind of funny. The college student also said that dorming with her friend would be fun for a couple weeks then would end up being boring because you have already hung out with them all throughout high school doing the same things and now in college. It will better to start off with a clean slate and meet someone that could potentially become your best friend all throughout college !
These are both good questions to ask , playing a sport in college can be beneficial. The reason I say that is because it may help one to be more focused and motivated. Because in order to perform you need good grades, and when you are down sports might be the reason you get back up. Finding that positive energy from before. The next question all depends on the person,meeting new people is apart of being in college, getting outside of your comfort zone I believe is apart of it. In high school you see the same people everyday. Sharing a dorm with a new face can help you get use to how the world works
