Re: What was life at your college/university like?
-There were 3 sets of dorms (8 buildings total) with 3 dining halls. New freshmen generally lived in one set of dorms (the main 5 buildings), and transfers and select other upperclassmen in the others. The college also operates 4 apartment buildings just off campus available for grad students and students with families.
-Most non-freshmen (including a majority of grad students) live off-campus either in the little college-town community right by campus or a little ways away where it's quieter and more suburban. That's where I lived after I left the dorms, it was about 15 minutes by bus.
-LOLWHAT at nowhere else to eat. There were about 6 restaurants in the student union plus the big coffee shop there, a large convenience store with many options (and a microwave if you wanna reheat your own food there) and a Subway by the main library, a good little cafe, and then like 3-4 more restaurants by the science/engineering department in the far north end of campus where I basically never went. That's where you go if you want CREPES! And then there's coffee carts all over the place, and dozens of options just barely off campus in college-town. I'm probably forgetting someplace. IDK, Jamba Juice?
-Bumping in to people... maybe. My freshman year roommate was a psych major. We took a general ed history class together and it was a big lecture so I never saw her there or anything; we had different discussion sections. After that year, I never saw her again except for once we ran into each other at the coffee shop. We went on to focus on the classes for our majors. But if the two characters are in the same major (mine was theatre, so it was an especially small department), yes they might see a lot of each other.
-I also think there might be more potential for awkwardness if the characters are living in the same area, be it dorms or off-campus housing very close by. I didn't have much of a "community" of college neighbors because I lived in suburbia with mostly grad students and young families. But I know people who did.
