Chapter 2 Summary By, Mark Van Den Broeke
Rebekah moved into the dorms where she will be living for awhile. She can't believe how much stuff the other dorms have. She examines how different men and women are just by the doors and what they post on them. As she goes to her first hall meeting the main subject that was discussed was alcohol. Rebekah was surprised how lenient the enforcement was (if they don't see it then no harm done). She also has her first day of school but was very stressed and overwhelmed of the workload and even a simple task like getting her books.
Rebekah is straight up front about everything she sees or hears. She seems to write in a nonbiased view on each gender but points out the obvious about the genders. I can relate well to her writings because I live in the dorm and she explained dorm life exactly how I would explain it. My whole floor blasts their sound systems and the walls rumble because of the bass just like in the book. Also, she says that students and studying less these days and that is very evident in my dorm. Mostly everyone decides to hang out with friends or play video games as in the text.

Rebekah Nathan endures the events that happen to freshmen within the first weeks of school. She describes what she noticed during move in and how students now days bring a lot more than she expected. She described the multiple decorations up in her including what was on the bulletin board and how her fellow residents expressed their individuality on their doors. She explains the first all meeting and all of the rules went over. Rebekah then goes to explain her first few days of school and the struggles she faces and makes discoveries about student life and how they are studying a little less and socializing less.
