Deciding to go to a college shouldn't be as hard as it is, there's so much you don't know after a simple tour, even though it seems as if those tour guides are able to spit information at you, that will go in one ear and out the other all day. There's so much to be said about the place that you're thinking about spending the next four years, maybe more. But it's not as hard as it seems, getting to know all about this SUNY school really is as easy as A-B-C.

Art. The whole campus is really just one big piece of art that will bless your Instagram with beautiful pictures no matter what season it is.

Bistro. The best thing that has ever happened to your Sunday mornings... that is if you're willing to wait for an hour to get seated, or get there at the crack of dawn.

Construction. Good luck living anywhere on campus: there's a 100% chance that you'll be woken up by construction at least once a semester.

Darold. The man, the myth, the legend. The gatekeeper to the one and only Hasbrouck-- (I'll get to that later!)

Empty bank account. Blame the frat houses that make you pay $5 for a red solo cup.

Football House. Don't be fooled by the frat guys on campus, New Paltz does not have a football team.

Gunk, or really The Gunk. It's smack in the middle of campus, so you can't really avoid it at all. Most the time it's beautiful, but sometimes it smells like a suite with eight people who've waited the whole month for the cleaning people to come.

Hasbrouck Dinning Hall, or as it's most commonly known: Has. This is the home of Hasbrouck, a buffet style dinning hall where you're guaranteed to never gain the freshman fifteen because nothing is edible.

Intro To Theater. The Easiest GE you'll ever take! Although, be sure to get the right professor or you might be in for a long semester.

Jewish. Jew Paltz, am I right?

Kindness. If you're from anywhere else other than New Paltz this will the be strangest concept, but get used to it.

Longboard. Let's be totally serious right now; it doesn't matter the season, you shouldn't be walking around campus with headphones on just incase one of these comes flying at you out of the blue.

Main Street. For some reason, this one street seems to have everything you'll ever need to live and within walking distance! Although, sometimes the trip to Walmart is worth it so you're not paying ten times the amount you would pay if you bought it on Main Street.

New Paltz Hot. It's true, this is a real thing. The male to female ratio at New Paltz is 38% male and 62% female. I think that's enough said.

Oasis. Does anyone really like Oasis, besides their cheap drinks? Although for some reason if you're a freshman, low on money or really just any type of New Paltz student under the age of 21, you'll end up here at least one Tuesday night of the semester.

Psychic readings. The awareness shop is an amazing place to go. Be sure to go on the last Saturday of every month for a $10 reading.

Quiet hours. You know the thing that your RA makes a really big deal about although everyone seems to play their record players way too loud.

Rail Trail. If you haven't visited this beautiful path, you should. It's really peaceful and full of lots of outdoors. Once in awhile, if you're lucky, you might even see your friendly neighborhood stoner.

Squirrels. Beware of these animals: they're not afraid to get up close and personal. They're also probably able to shake you upside down and take all of your lunch money.

Theater majors. There's no lack of theater majors on campus. Be sure to catch them hanging out around Parker or McKenna Theater--their natural habitat.

Uber. You know that thing that is really great in the city? Yeah you're never finding one of those up here. Just give in and call New Paltz Taxi, who needs $5 anyway?

Vegetables and fruits. What seem to be the most expensive thing in the world on a college student budget. Unless you're able to get past Darold and sneak them out of Hasbrouck for free.

Wednesday. Let's be real, most of campus sleeps through Wednesday.

X: ...Honestly, does someone expect me to come up with something creative with the letter X?

Yik Yak. Download it. It will provide you with hours of laughter by scrolling past people who think they're witty or just desperate to get laid. Also, how else would you know when hot mailroom guy works?

Zombies. No, we haven't been hit by the apocalypse yet, but depending on the week you might get stuck in the middle of a Humans vs. Zombies
