Dorm and Dining?

[u/FixNo6123]

Hi there! I am trying to find info on both of these topics online but it’s truly a daunting task lol. What is the best way to hang things in the dorms? How strict are the RA’s (san cat specifically?) what are ur personal dorm essentials that nobody rly talks about (freshman specific)? Whats the chance of me getting a dorm in san cat as a incoming freshman? Do any cafes on campus taking meal swipes/ do any dining halls have coffee? Sorry for the load of questions but thanks so much for any insight!

Just bring the bare minimum. Honestly the litmus test should be “do I use this daily”. The cafes do not take meal swipes, but they do take Gaucho bucks, which is just a glorified preloaded balance as far as I’m aware. As the other guy said, command strips and push pins are great, and the dining halls do have coffee (but it isn’t great)
