One of our spirited welcome week activities involved a little bit of dorm hall competition. On one of our first days here, all of the freshman dorm residents got together with their RAs and learned their very own dorm cheer. The best dorm by far is Kiewit, which just happens to be mine. Our cheer is pretty catchy--- we were out on the mall that night yelling our cheers to see which residence hall was the loudest! I had been so exhausted from all of the events, but my voice was hoarse from all of that screaming. Kiewit is the biggest all-freshman dorm with about 400 students. The location is great, and the rooms are more than adequate. One of the elevators has been broken for a while, but I’m glad I have to trek up nine flights of stairs once in a while; good way to keep off that “freshman fifteen”! Something else I really like about Creighton dorm rooms that I didn’t see anywhere else were sinks in the actual room. It might not seem like a big deal now, but I’m so grateful that I don’t have to walk down the hall every time I want to brush my teeth or wash my face. My RAs (resident advisors—they are upperclassmen who live on our floor), Colin and Sabrina, are so much fun! All of the people on my floor are in the Freshman Leadership Program, and you can always find someone hanging out in our common area, called the Neutral Zone. It’s usually pretty crazy, so when I need to study I make myself go to the library or my room. But I made sure to stop by yesterday...Hannah had a huge cake there for her birthday. Yum!!
