Partick,

First - be careful with the term heretic and heretical. There are many Christians who have an Arminian view of soteriology but have hardly any idea how to articulate what they believe. They have been fed the company line by the free will churches they attend and don't know any better. I was one of them. I am totally convinced I was a Christian in those days, I just didn't know the truth. Historical Armianism is truly a heresy, but many Christians who hold to free will are not Arminian in that sense.

Second - pray that the Lord gives you the ability to establish friendships with your dorm mates. Take advantage of conversations as they present themselves. Don't try to force feed your views. See where you friendships lead. If they allow for conversation on Calvinism, then go there. Maybe a bible study will result from the interaction. I will certainly pray for you.
