My Living Experiences at Bradley – Sarah

In my four years at Bradley, I’ve lived in 4 different places! Bradley has a ton of different living options for students, we have 6 dorms on campus, apartments in walking distance, greek houses, and off-campus houses.
During my freshman year, I lived in the dorms on campus. I was really worried about living in the dorms because I had heard so many horror stories about bad roommates and communal bathrooms. Plus I didn’t know anyone coming to Bradley so I had no idea how I was going to find a roommate. I decided to go through the school’s roommate matching system where I filled out a survey about my interests and the school paired me with someone who was compatible. (I would have loved to have had a Facebook page with all of the incoming freshman so I could have met someone through the page!) But the matching system ended up working out really well too, my roommate and I got along well and worked great as roommates. I really loved living in the dorms, it was a way to get to know so many other freshman girls on my floor and have the support of my RAs to help with all of my questions/worries going into freshman year. I even ended up loving the communal bathrooms, they were cleaned every day and after living with tons of girls the years following, I totally miss that luxury!! Living in a Greek affiliated house can fulfill your on-campus requirement for your sophomore year, so I decided to live in the Chi Omega house for my sophomore year. Living in the house was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. I lived with about 30 other girls in one house and there was never a dull moment. I really enjoyed my time and made some really unforgettable memories while living in the house. For my junior and senior years, I have lived in off-campus houses, which has been a blast. My walk to class is still under 10 minutes, the houses off-campus are really close by and are a great way to grow independently and get to live with your best friends. I’ve loved all the places I’ve lived at Bradley, it’s been so fun to get to move around and get to grow as a student in so many different environments.
