There has been many time that my neighbors and I have studied together. We often all order pizza late-night while we are studying for a big exam. Many of the people in my classes live in my dorm since we all have related majors. This is great when I'm confused about an assignment or I need someone to walk to class with. I think that FISE housing is an excellent opportunity.
Tutors are always available in the building instead of having to go somewhere else to get help.
Also, since everyone is in a science program we all have a similar schedule of classes. So, you can always study with your neighbors. Everyone in FISE housing has a similar attitude about learning and doing their work, so there is no need to worry about rowdiness.
