I'm kicking around two major ideas for my multimedia feature story.
The first idea is a feature on how not to be a "dorm dummy" during your freshman year.
I would talk with RAs and dorm building representatives about the most common violations freshmen make, during what times of the year they happen, and how they get caught.
I would talk to freshmen who live on campus about the kinds of violations they witness, any misconceptions they might have about things they can "get away with," or not get in trouble for.
I would also interview students and RAs about dorm etiquette. Common troubles roommates have, how to make the best of living in the Towers vs. old side housing like Richmond or Newell, etc.
The second idea is about Towson's reputation as a "suitcase school."
A lot of students live close to campus and go home during the weekends despite the thriving on-campus activities that are provided weekly, many for free.
I would also mention the community and city life we have at our disposal in Towson, and about whether students take advantage of it, or even know it exsists.
I would also talk with students who always spend weekends away and students who always stay on campus on weekends. I would discuss with them the pros and cons to this, and how they use their time at school and away to make the most of their college experience.

sounds like you're leaning toward the "dorm dummy" which sounds like it's more of a "how-to".
