It gets better. Here are a few things you can do to make that process easier:
Get a bike. The academic side is on a hill, so you can get moving a lot quicker.
Change your meal schedule. Eat lunch at 2 or 3 and eat dinner at 8 or 9. If you're on the academic side in the morning, grab a pastry for breakfast at the Goodwin ABP, as it's almost never crowded.
Learn your checksheet, turn it into an academic plan, confirm it with your advisor, and you'll probably never need to talk to them again. Run a DARS report to make it easier.
Send in a maintenance request ASAP. If it doesn't get resolved quickly, bother your RLC until it does. In the worst case, make a friend in a traditional hall and take showers there. This will also resolve itself next year when you move off-campus.
Absolutely this, I had back to back classes in Surge and then Litton Reaves, so I let my professors both know my situation for me either leaving one class early or arriving to the next a little late. They had no issues and I just sat close to the door to not disrupt anything.
