Suz often found herself trying to study out in the hallway b/c her roommate had a boyfriend who 'visited' frequently. She tried to complain about it, but to no avail. So the following year she moved into an apt. with friends. Her dorm experience at UMASS, however, was a good one.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
