McCormick was definitely way too bias, and obviously had a bad experience with dorm life. Although I don’t find the dorms a vacation resort I find my dorm on western campus quite content. The food does make my stomach hurt, and it does take a while to walk to come of my classes, but I’m also not on the main part of campus so that is expected. She talks a lot about the brochure but doesn’t go into great detail about anything and complains about the vagueness of the brochure it’s self. (how ironic lol) Her argument was that dorm life wasn’t all it was perked up to be into a brochure but she totally doesn’t explain anything about living in a dorm besides matching bed spreads and personalizing your room. If she would have described actual living in the dorm such as showering, and eating , not in the cafeterias, and sleeping with roommates her argument would have been much more valid, but she didn’t go into any detail on any of those topics other than food, but the cafeterias don’t have a whole lot to do with living on campus, at least not a whole lot.
Why did she choose to argue about the brochure? She could have made a better argument by stating her experience as a freshman and that she didn’t like it. I did enjoy that she pointed out that the brochure was aimed more towards incoming freshmen because its true once and upper classman has lived outside the dorm and compare the two experiences living in a house or an apartment probably does seem worlds better but as for me I am not despising the life in a dorm. It’s not as cushy as home but I don’t hate it. She simply just didn’t give enough detail to support her case and the body of her writing didn’t fit with her chosen topic well enough.
