Freshman year dormitories come with a variety of new experiences. One of these is not only living with a roommate, but with neighbors very close by. Some neighbors are great, but others not so much. Without further ado, here's a list of the neighbors you'll encounter in college.

1. The non-existent neighbor

Ok, despite it's name, you do know this neighbor exists. You may have a class with them or see them around campus, but you never hear or see them in their room. For the first month of school I didn't realize we shared our right wall with someone because my room is the cutoff between sides of the floor, and although I met my neighbor at orientation I never saw or heard a peep from her.

2. The noisy neighbor

This neighbor is constantly making noise at all hours of the night and day. You may hear them "having some fun" at 4 in the afternoon and their base vibrations will wake you up at 4 AM! On the bright side, you know all of the gossip since they practically scream everything they say, and so you'll have some dirt on them if you ever need to blackmail them.

3. The nosey neighbor

This neighbor somehow always knows when you enter your room, and will knock about half a second later. Once they enter your room, it seems like they never leave. They may invite themselves to plans, and if they see a snapchat from somewhere in your room you'll have yet another guest within the minute.

4. The elephant neighbor

This neighbor lives directly above you. Although they may seem like normal human beings, there is no other explanation than that they are elephants posing as humans. I mean, how else do they stomp so loudly?

5. The "borrower"

You may have never met this floormate of yours, but you see their name constantly popping up on the floor group chat. This person's become notorious for needing to borrow anything and everything.

6. The "mom" neighbor

Yup, the "mom" neighbor! The one who always looks out for you and takes care of you. When you come home drunk and high, they help you get back into your room. Or if you're in public they come, get you and help you get back. They clean up dirty sinks when they look disgusting, and always give you advice. No matter where you are, the "mom" neighbor will always be there!

7. The neighbor that always tells you to "shut up"

It does not matter what you do. You can never be right in their eyes. They look at you or hear your name and suddenly feel disgust. Always having that constant urge to just say "shut up."

8. The "3rd roommate" neighbor

This neighbor isn't actually your neighbor. This is a friend, or a neighbor's friend, who constantly hangs out in your dorm. The CCA will get excited to see them whenever you sign them in, and your RA will invite them to all the floor events. The difference between this neighbor and the nosey neighbor is that you actually want this one here. They're always there, but the floor wouldn't be the same without them.

9. The "good neighbor" neighbor

This neighbor is the definition of a good neighbor. Occasionally one of you will be too loud, and they'll politely ask you to be a bit quieter by using your secret signal- a knock on the wall. If you forget something in the dorm you can ask them to bring it to you if you have your next class together. If you need help on homework you can just go next door. It's really great to have a good neighbor.
