<p>Ok, so my first concern with dorming is how I'm going to practice. I mean, when you share a room with someone, you're not exactly going to have a lot of alone time to be singing (or playing) without disturbing anyone. Not to mention the walls r probably thin. So is anyone else concerned about this, and how do you plan to deal with it?</p>
<p>Most colleges will have practice rooms in or near the Music department. At my D's school, they have lockers in the same building and people leave their instruments there.</p>
<p>there are practice rooms in the music buildings.</p>
<p>Many colleges' dorms also have practice rooms so you should check with the ones you're interested in and ask. You may not even have to leave your building!</p>
<p>my dorm is connected to the music building, but we also have practice rooms in our dorm. A lot of music majors live here and a lot of non music majors that want to practice anyway. We never have problems getting practice rooms.</p>
<p>I hope my roommate plays a instrument and is into metal so we can jam.</p>
<p>hmm, this makes me feel better :)</p>
<p>you play guitar jr86?</p>
<p>there is a lot of practice space at my school.. but my neighbors play guitar, sax, and flute, and i often hear guitars, etc. when walking around in the halls - as long as it's not too loud and you are respectful of other people's need for quiet at times, you should be okay</p>
