First impression of the Flint hall

       The first impression that Flint Residential Hall gives me is gorgeous and fantastic. Before I study abroad, some senior students set up a group chat in order to help the freshmen to successfully transition into Syracuse University. I can still remember that when every student received the email from university to tell us where we would live in aroused every freshman’s interests. In the meantime, they were discussing the differences between each residential hall and the advantages or disadvantages of each hall. When I got that email which told me I would live in Flint hall makes me excited, although this residential hall is on the mount, it just renovated and the location of this hall is superb. The senior said, “If someone can be selected to live in Flint Hall, they are absolutely lucky. Flint hall is next to the Gram dining hall, and it has individual toilets which are convenient for students to take a shower. At that time, I was expecting to see this wonderful dorm as soon as possible, and obviously, the first impression of Flint was from the group chat and I did have a good impression on it.
At the end of the august, I finally came here. Because of the time difference, when I arrived at the Hancock Airport, it was night already, and everything was dark around me. One of the senior students picked up me and another boy who also lives in Flint, and when I arrived the gate of Flint Hall, I felt a little bit disappointed. (Maybe it was night so that I cannot see everything that clearly.)  Before I arrived here, everyone just described Flint as wonderful as a palace, but when I got off the car, the first building was Flint Hall, and it looks really ordinary and normal. When I got into the building, people at the front desk was really nice and gave me some information and guide of my university. Afterward, one warm-hearted guide led me to my dorm, and I was shocked and surprised. My dorm is big and new, and I could even smell the scent of decoration after renovation. And at that time, I finally got why those seniors said Flint hall is an awesome place for people to live in. Although it was 1 a.m. at that day, but I felt excited and could not fall asleep. In addition, I have two packages of clothes and necessities to unpack. I could see nothing at night, so I just wanted to wait till the morning to figure out how wonderful my residential hall is and to explore the beauty of residential halls on campus, not just Flint hall. And during the time of waiting until next morning, I gradually fell asleep, because after more than twenty hours flight, I felt tired and sleepy...
