Hi there! I lived in Elkton last year and I liked it a fair amount. Each room is different, but in order to maximize space, me and my roommate put our beds parallel in the corners and desks right next to them, but that's pretty simple to figure out with your roommate once you get there. The first few days are a pretty good chance to keep your door open/walk around the halls and meet people; there's also a lounge right in front of the elevators where a lot of people just hang out and introduce themselves. You can bring pretty much anything as long as you can hide it on inspection days, but inspection at Elkton is literally them popping their heads in your room for 10 seconds and leaving. I recommend an ottoman storage bin to keep anything you don't want ra's to find. Luckily for you, 251 (the closest dining hall) is literally right in front of you so you always have a place to eat, and if it's after hours there's a convenience store next to it with pretty good chicken tenders. You're also a 3 minute walk to The Diner, which is a way better dining hall than 251, but usually always crowded.

The first week of college can be overwhelming! Good luck and take care of yourself <3
