Dorms are an amazing way to meet people but not so good for grades. If you have a choice only stay for a semester in a dorm. Don't shout out rules first thing. Wait until the problem arises and then address it as necessary. Don't hang out too much with your roommate in the first week either. Try and go out and meet people by yourself and fall back on your roommate for intros if you didn't meet many people. Don't give everyone your life story when you first meet them just party and save the dry stuff for when you're sober.
