It's for the same reason that a building can burn up or burn down, or that inflammable means the same thing as flammable, or that some people's nose smells and feet run while other people's nose runs and feet smell - the English language is wacky!

by studying hard.\n\nCheating tends to get caught these days.

Under the bed bins are great!  You might also want to look for things that can do double duty, like a chest that can double as a coffee table.  Over the door racks for shoes work great for storing odds and ends like hair brushes, makeup, or whatever.  Try and use your wall space too, if you can by putting up shelves.  The more things up can put up off the floor the better.\n\nAs far was things to ask, if you have any interests or sports that you do, ask about those and see if they have teams/organizations to participate in.  Ask what the student body is like, you'll find out more general information about the people on campus.  Ask about requirments, it's always a good idea to have the classes you'll have to take in mind when planning out what to take.  I guess this is a little more like stuff you might ask when going to college, but I think it works for you situation too.

When the FBI pumps in gallons of extremely flammable substances in order to drive out the occupants, and then the building catches fire, there should be some questions raised.  From everything I've seen, the FBI just made a lots of mistakes and did things in a very poor manner.  This resulted in the compound turning into a cluster f&#%.

I'd guess allergies.  Have you had your house checked for mold?

Because most colleges require you live in their dormitories the first year (for social reasons) \nAND\nthe cost of parking is crazy in colleges.

Apartment!! The dorms on campus are overcharging for your stay! It is convient to live on campus of course, but nto worth the extra money you will be spending to live there. An example, I lived on campus and piad $560 a month, and then I got a 1 bedroom apartment for $520 a month (and split it with my BF). Now, that is only a little cheaper, but every penny counts when you're in college.\n\nNot to mention the restrictions when you live on campus! I got a $20 fee for just having a candle out!

Iv'e slept in those types of tents with the diesel burning stoves in them.  I literally slept with a fire extinguisher cradled in my arms.  They might be flame retardant but they sure as hell are not fire proof.  Also, I think the fabric is just regular canvass that is treated with a flame retardant chemical because they smell horrible.

One of my students got arrested last year for arson after trying to set a trashcan on fire in the boys' locker room.  They pulled him out of class to question him, but couldn't get him to crack.  As soon as they left, he shouted in class, "F**K! Somebody f***ing ratted on me!\n\nNeedless to say, I opened my door and called back to the nice police officers and they hauled him butt to juvenile hall.  Idiot.

Check for mold in your apt.  If you can certified that you might be able to break lease for health reasons.

It may be over-heating

Normally it is hard to prepare a good meal when you are living in a dorm room. The other problem is that a lot of younger people do not know how to cook very well & want something more than microwave fare for dinner or don't think about the fact that they can get some really good microwave dinners at the grocery. Another issue may have to do with having a refridgerator in their dorm room; either they don't have one or don't want to bother with it. Finally, I think the biggest draw is that the eateries are fast & they don't have to bother with clean up following their meal. Since most students are busy with their studies, it is a way to eat & go while still getting a decent meal.\n\nAs to how they actually operate or what the food chain is, I can't help you...

Report the thefts to the campus police and tell them you suspect your roomate. Also go talk to the dean of the school about this problem. See if you can get a new roomate.
