However, the fact that you've been placed in Perkins indicates that you may have some similar experiences. Yes, the dorm is not exactly ideal, and you will definitely run into people who simply don't respect your decision, but looking back on it three years later, I personally would not trade the friendships I made my freshman year for anything. Much of the year will be what you make of it. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.

I signed up for substance-free and now I've been placed in Perkins. I don't see myself as holy or over-religious, I just like to keep my body healthy. I hope it's not going to be as bad as you've written. Wow, I never knew that! I signed up for substance-free and now I’ve been placed in Perkins.
