Housing and Residence Life with Sophie

Transcript

We can’t wait to meet Sophie, a junior majoring in Business Administration. One of the highlights of college is living on campus and experiencing the full university lifestyle, something Fairmont State University cultivates. Living in University Terrace, Sophie has a close knit community, lifelong friendships, and the convenience of being your classes, support, and activities. Sophie, tell us all about living on campus. Take it away.

– Thanks, Alex. I cannot be more excited to share my favorite place with all of you. Picture this, you’re looking for a college that’s more than just classrooms and dorms. That was me. I wanted a true community, and that’s exactly what I found here at Fairmont State University. Living on campus is a huge reason why I’ve had such an amazing college experience. Whether I’m cooking dinner with my friends, singing in the lounge, or studying for exams, the relationships I’ve built here have been so meaningful and honestly, nothing beats walking 10 feet down the hall and being at your friend’s doorstep or getting a text and being able to join a game of spike one seconds. Residents life gives so many opportunities to connect, grow, and support each other. Our resident assistants plan fun events like game nights, craft nights, and holiday celebrations that make it so easy to meet people and feel included. Plus, I love the convenience. Being close to my classes, the dining hall, and campus events saves me so much time and keeps me engaged with campus life. It’s more than housing. It’s an environment that builds success, friendship, and personal growth. After freshman year, you can live in the University Terrace Apartments. They have full kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and personal bedrooms, all fully furnished with TVs. Plus, there’s beautiful glass study rooms. And throughout all campus housing, you’ll find vending machines, laundry, and printers. It’s the perfect way to enjoy independence, while staying connected. Living on campus allows me to easily get involved with student organizations and build close connections with students, staff, and faculty. I’ve grown as a student, a leader, and a friend, all while being surrounded by people who want to see me succeed. I truly love Fairmont State and I bet you would too. That’s my story. Alex, back to you.

– Sounds like you’ve made yourself at home, Sophie. Your experience shows that living on campus at Fairmont State University provides more than convenience. It creates community and lifelong friendships. Campus life helps Falcons thrive academically and personally, while preparing for a lifetime of success. We hope you continue to enjoy your home at Fairmont State, Sophie. Take care.
