THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS COMMENT ABOUT THE HELOISE
COLLEGE TOUR
| "I thought she was very lively,"
according to Hiromi Toda, a junior advertising major.
"I didn’t know what to expect or what she would
do next. I really liked the style of her presentation." |
| "I never
knew you were supposed to clean CDs from the center out,"
admitted Amanda McBride, a mass communications major.
"She’s just full of so many tips that can really
help us out. I think her doing a college tour is a great
idea." |
| "After watching the clip, I knew
it was going to be a good show. She was hilarious and
didn’t even mind telling (David) Letterman he had
a hairy chest," said Sara Gonzales, a mass communications
senior. |
| "The technical part of the show
was the most helpful part because I drop my phone in the
toilet or in water on a regular basis," said senior
Richard Arnott. |
| "I never knew there were so many
handy tricks available for some of the most simple things
that you come across," said Dominic Bianchi, a marketing
senior. "I’m going to take these tricks home
to share with my dirty roommates." |
| "I had no idea why you should
wash your clothes in cold water until today," admitted
freshman Shakotah Knowlton. "My mom never taught
me to do laundry." |
| "I mostly learned that you don’t
have to buy expensive, commercial stuff," said Emily
Newby, junior print major. " You can just get basic
stuff that works for everything." |
|
"I was
so excited to get a goodie-bag. I never win anything,"
said Julie Love, a mass communication student. "I
was surprised to find disposable underwear in it though!"

 My
Hints From Heloise column receives many letters and e-mails
from college students. They are asking many questions and
looking for answers about doing laundry, cleaning the microwave,
dealing with messy roommates and cramped spaces. I look forward
to hearing from more college students, who can send
me their comments and questions. I will choose number
to be answered online and in my regular column.
Cleaning dorm rooms or college apartments
are big issues. Here are two suggested solutions:
In one letter, Gary from Oklahoma said that
when he lived with three other male roommates, they found
a solution to their messy apartment—a cheap cleaning
service to come once every three weeks.
In another letter, Alice from Nebraska says
that she and her roommate set a mandatory time each week for
cleaning—they couldn’t plan dates or anything else
during that time.
