Moving out of the house and into a dorm is a critical point in your life because it is probably one of the first times in 10 years that you have been thrown into a brand new environment. This entails making new friendships, creating a schedule for yourself, doing your own laundry and, most importantly, living with a bunch of strangers.

Dorm life is a strange new world. You don't have a room or bathroom to yourself, and you're sharing them with around 25 other people. I can guarantee that there will be some strange or awkward encounters between you and your hall-mates, but at some point you get used to it. You'll start to associate these people with their rooms, and some rooms are more memorable than others. Compiled is a list of the types of rooms you'll encounter throughout your life in the dorm, but trust me, it gets normal pretty quickly.

1. The loud room.

By this, I don't mean the room that's always partying or getting ready to party. This is the room that just always has some type of noise coming from it, and you really have no idea why. Sometimes, you don't really know what the noises are, but blocking them out isn't that hard.

2. The room with the strange smell.

Every time you walk by this room, you'll get a whiff of something strange. There may be different smells throughout the semester, but you can guarantee that there will always be one. You may be inclined to ask them what's rotting in their fridge, but figure you'd much rather not know and keep walking.

3. The pre-game room.

This is the room that always seems to be getting ready for their night out. If you stand in the hall long enough, you'll see multiple people walk in and out with cups of "soda" in their hands. This room may get loud, but it usually only lasts for the 45 minutes before the party starts.

4. The party room.

Compared to the pre-game room, this room will usually be loud until the end of the night. You may find some of the most creative people living here, however, because they do have to figure out how to turn their room into a space large enough to fit 10 plus people. That is what we call innovative genius.

5. The empty room.

Apparently, there are people who live in this room. But ever since the first week, you've never seen them. You don't know where they go or who they really are, but when you do get a glance at them you simply wonder, What do you do with your life?

6. The messy room.

Don't even try to walk into this room. The usual protocol is walk in, see the floor, realize you have nowhere to move and walk right back out.

7. The clean room.

Contrary to the messy room, don't try to touch anything in here. If you do, you might get a dirty look or even scolded by its inhabitants. Also, don't even try to sit on their bed.

8. The room with all the food.

If you're on some sort of diet, I recommend not walking into this room. These people will always have food in their room, whether it's healthy or not, and you'll somehow end up eating it. On the other hand, if you're hungry, go on ahead.

9. The loner room.

The loner room will usually have a roommate that never leaves. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes you forget who's living there.

10. The friendly room.

Those who live in the friendly room most likely were the ones to knock on every door during move in day to introduce themselves. Their door is almost always open, and you can count on this room to have a warm and fuzzy feel to it.

11. The advice room.

Similar to the friendly room, this room will always have its door open. If you're ever feeling down or just need someone to vent to, you're heading to this room any time of the day.

12. The standoff-ish room.

This room seems not to like the other rooms in your hall. It's nothing that you did or can change, it's just that these people don't seem to like anyone outside of their room. That's OK, though -- every hallway needs one of these.

13. The go-to room.

The go-to room is exactly what it sounds like: your go-to. Whether you need outfit advice, makeup questions, are lost on your homework, or need somewhere to sleep for unspeakable reasons, this room will be your savior. Praise its inhabitants and thank them, preferably with lots of hugs and food.
