Lookit what someone just shared with me!1. Bring a old school Nintendo or Super Nintendo with tons of classic games. Challenge your new roomate to a game of Dr. Mario (or Super Mario Bros., etc) The familiar sounds and sound effects will draw people into your room and everyone will remember playing the games from back in the day and therefore want to watch or join you.
2. Bring a lot of conversation piece type things to your room. Cool, unique, original posters are usually good. Once people are hanging out in your room, you will have things to talk about and spark conversations about funny and random things.
3. Go to Costco and buy lots of bulk junk food, especially candy. Leave some of it out in your room. Tell people to eat it. Instant people attraction. Alternately carry some of it into other people's open doors and offer it. (Make an excuse, like "my mom got me these but I don't like them, do you want them?")
4. Do not hook up with anyone on your floor (or in your building if possible). This will cause way too much drama. Trust me. Don't do it.
5. Avoid getting a reputation (slut, asshole, whiner, book-worm, druggie, alcoholic, wild partier, criminal, etc.) They are hard to lose.
6. Make friends in other buildings and off campus. It really opens up the social doors.
7. Speaking of doors, whenever possible leave yours open and explore other people's open doors.
8. Invite a bunch of people to go to the dining hall with you.

-Get a big rug. (and some method for cleaning it).
-Get those butterfly chairs.
-Get a computer chair.
-Get standard lightbulb lighting (desk lamps, hanging lamps) since the neon thing overhead is harsh. (modify: filter it with a layer of cloth).
-Get an extra window drape from Urban outfitters to replace / add to the crap plastic one / add extra color to your room
-Get bed risers.
-Hide what's under your bed with an extra sheet tucked under the mattress and going around the trim (whats this called, a dustblocker or something??)
-Get a humidifier. The air in the dorms is stifilingly warm and dry in the winter. You'll be much more comfortable than you realize with it.

It's filled with wonderful hybrid animals playing badminton on the streets.
