RE: College Dorms?
After much thought and self-examination, I decided I'm going to stay at home for the first year. This past year I've developed so much discipline in the way of my training and diet that to compromise that in any way is going to be a bigger blow to my self-esteem than a lack of friends. Some people can cope with the terrible food, but I really can't even stand the thought of it.

Given the circumstances, I want to prioritize investing in myself these four years and the training and diet is a huge part of that. If I change that, I'll be too pissed to make any friends, maintain good grades, or do anything at all. I don't want to look back and think I could have invested more in myself and maybe a little less in getting validation from people who I might not see again. I rather err on the side of investing in myself than in others.

This doesn't mean I won't socialize though. I'll make an effort to socialize. Once I get a feel for my class schedule and free time, I'll be able to better sort this out. I'll definitely make an effort to stay out of the house for as much time as I can.

Thanks for the responses, guys. And thanks for not being narrow in your answers. I appreciate that you guys considered the fact that every person is different.

I know I'm doing what's right for me.
