Admissions Unveiled

What's It Like to Have a Roommate?

February 16, 2009 - by Kayla Zaniboni

College is full of a whole lot of new experiences, some good and others take some time to get used to. One experience that I was also worried about was having to live with another person, or sometimes two other people. When I was a freshman I was placed in a forced triple, which means I was put into a room made for two people but there were three people in it. When I was first found this out, I was really nervous because I couldn't even imagine living with one other person, never mind two. When it came time for move in day, we set up the room so there was as much space as possible, and it didn't look half bad! One of the most frequently asked questions that I get as a tour guide is, is it hard to live with two other people? And what I always tell them is that you are never in the room at the same time, except to sleep. We were all on different class schedules and all doing different things at night. One of the great things about living with two people your freshman year is it gives you the opportunity to meet more people through your roommates. I am still friends with my roommates from my first year at Adelphi, and friends with some of their friends. Having a roommate is a wonderful experience and I have great memories from all my roommates here at Adelphi!

My name is Fara Fiore and I am a junior at Adelphi University. I am a political science and criminal justice major, and hope to some day be a lawyer. Throughout my three years at Adelphi, I have been part of the Pre-law Society, Amnesty International, Hall Council, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Student Government. I also love when intramural basketball starts! I started as a political science major and took a criminal justice class as a general education requirement, and loved it! I immediately asked for assistance in declaring a double major, and my professors and advisors were extremely helpful in making sure everything worked out. My favorite thing to say on tours is "Everything is what you make of it," and college is no different. As a resident or commuter student, it is extremely easy to get involved, making you never want to leave Adelphi.

My name is Jessica Iuteri, I am from a small town in Connecticut. I am a sophomore Nursing major and an Excel Mentor at Adelphi. It has been an amazing adventure so far for me, leaving my family was one of the hardest things to do but I knew that by moving away it would help me grow as a person and I have even developed my very own home away from home now. I have even gained sisters, I am apart of Phi Sigma Sigma on campus and it has been a life changing experience I would never regret. I was never one to jump into anything quickly but as I moved into the college life, away from everything and everyone I knew and loved, I quickly learned that college is going to be what I make of it, its not what Adelphi can do for me, it is what I take from Adelphi and make from it. “For once jump in with you eyes closed and be faithful things will turn out just fine,” something I have started to live by. Where I end up one day will hopefully be somewhere warm and working in a hospital, helping everyone that I can and being positive about tomorrow. That’s all you can do, Live for today.

My name is Kayla Zaniboni and I am a junior at Adelphi University. I am a theatre major with a concentration in acting. Throughout my three years here at Adelphi, I have been apart of SAB (Student Activities Board) and Hall Council. I also like to play intramural volleyball. Within the theatre department, I have been involved in many shows including, "The Rimers of Eldritch", "Rent", and "Stage Door." I have enjoyed everyday at Adelphi. Even though it sounds cliché, college is what you make of it; if you put your hand out, there will be another one reaching out for you. The professors at Adelphi are more than just teachers--they end up being role models and sometimes friends. I couldn't imagine being any place else but here.
