Day 1
Jonas: "So, this is it. Our dorm."
Silke: "It's really nice, but we haven't seen the inside yet."
Branwen: "On the photo's we saw when we were still in Belgium it looked okay, so I guess it's.... Okay."
Ellen: "You're all way too positive about this... I'm just hoping that it's at least silent in here..."
Jolien: "I want to visit the city man, I don't care about this dorm as long as I have a bed. I'm not even gonna be here very often."
Rob: "I'm good with whatever we face inside. I'm not difficult at all."
And with that, the six of them stepped inside...

And with that, the six of them stepped inside...
Silke: "Wow! So THAT's why they wanted a picture of us beforehand? Our rooms are already chosen for us! I'm gonna take a look at all rooms now I still have a chance."
Branwen: "Who told the landlord that Jonas and I are a couple? We share a room!"
Silke: "Didn't you say that yourself?"
Branwen: "Nope, I didn't. Maybe Jonas did it. Well, I'm glad!"
Silke and Branwen both open their doors. You don't get to see them now but you will eventually.
Silke: "Whoa, this is a nice little room!"
Branwen: "... Yeah. Little indeed."
Silke: "What?! Why are you saying that???"
Branwen: "Wellllll.... Look at our room for yourself."
Silke turns to Branwen and Jonas' room, but is not super impressed.
Silke: "Well, it's indeed bigger, but if you separate the bed and put a wall between it, it's just the same as ours. Must say, you're lucky to share a room"
Branwen: "It's still bigger, so I don't care what you say, hehe. Talking about big...."
Branwen: "Who told the landlord that Jonas and I are a couple? We share a room!"
Silke: "Didn't you say that yourself?"
Branwen: "Nope, I didn't. Maybe Jonas did it. Well, I'm glad!"

Branwen: "It's still bigger, so I don't care what you say, hehe. Talking about big...."
Branwen goes back to the living room and sits down on the couch.
Branwen: "Even the tv is super big! I don't know anymore if I'm actually going to study at this rate."
Jonas (in the kitchen): "I guess the landlord didn't want us to hate the place. The fridge is FULL of food! I'm absolutely in love with this landlord already!"
Branwen: "You're just a foodie."
Jonas: "And you're TV-addicted! By the way, I always jog the calories off again!"
Branwen: "Even the tv is super big! I don't know anymore if I'm actually going to study at this rate."

Silke: "Whiiiiii! They even have bicycles for us! ROB LOOK AT THIS, THEY HAVE BICYLES!"
Rob: "I'm gonna claim the green one!"
Rob: "I'm gonna claim the green one!"
On the second floor there's a big study room. One side is full with presentation boards while the other side is especially for studying.
Ellen: "Already making homework? We just arrived?"
Jolien: "The faster my homework is done, the faster I can go into the city! Don't you want to check the university grounds as fast as possible? They must have such cool stuff there!"
Ellen: "Ehmmm... I'll pass, but maybe someone else is interested?"
Jolien: "Argh, I don't even like doing homework. I'm just going to ask if someone wants to go with me."

Jolien: "Argh, I don't even like doing homework. I'm just going to ask if someone wants to go with me."
After a round of questioning, Jolien managed to get Silke and Jonas with her. Of course, she's running inside as fast as she can from the moment they arrive.
Silke: "I don't know where to look first! I'm SO HAPPY!"
Jonas: "I know where I'm going tho."
Silke: "Where????"
Silke: "I don't know where to look first! I'm SO HAPPY!"
Jonas: "I know where I'm going tho."
Silke: "Where????"
Jonas: "I saw a sign saying 'free drinks inside'."
Silke: "Wha-?! That's not even---..... Nevermind."
Silke: "Wha-?! That's not even---..... Nevermind."
Jolien: "I'm already having the time of my life!"
Silke: "This is incredible. I just went upstairs and you can do lots of things for school up there! If you're all annoying, I'll go study here for sure!"
Jolien: "Well, I'll barely be at home at this rate. I already made this friend and she's saying that there are lots of party's going on here!"
Silke: "Of course you do... Well, I'm going upstairs again. This is awesome!"
Jonas: "Don't forget the free drinks, you know???"
Silke: "This is incredible. I just went upstairs and you can do lots of things for school up there! If you're all annoying, I'll go study here for sure!"
Jolien: "Well, I'll barely be at home at this rate. I already made this friend and she's saying that there are lots of party's going on here!"
Silke: "Of course you do... Well, I'm going upstairs again. This is awesome!"
Jonas: "Don't forget the free drinks, you know???"
Back at home, Ellen and Rob are doing some next level communicating: through the walls. The walls are not super thick and they sleep next to each other, so yeah, why not? The only person left home is Branwen, and she's chained to the TV.
Ellen: "Rob, did you already start with the term paper for CC*?"
Rob: "I took a look at it, but I guess I'm leaving that for later. I'm making homework for I&C*."
Ellen: "Oh yeah, that's also a good idea... But I really want to start on that paper..."
In the end Ellen decided to make the paper first, but when she finished, this happened:

Jonas, Silke and Jolien ended up with the same notification later on. Better not do that again, guys!
