SPECIAL INTEREST HOUSING Special Interest Housing gives students a unique residence option. While many houses such as the French, German, International, and Spanish House offer a cultural experi- ence, others like the Belmont, Education, Music, Martin Lu- ther King, and Farm House attract students who have common backgrounds or in- terests. Each house sponsors related activities throughout the year, such as picnics, trips, and festivals, and the various houses often get together to coordinate events. Many stu- dents also enjoy the residential atmosphere and the close friendships that develop. FARM HOUSE FRENCH HOUSE 58 Housing

Having to cook your own meals is one disadvantage of not having a meal plan, but these Pencader resi- dents don ' t mind grilling hot dogs and hamburgers at the Pencader picnic. Drinking games are popular at parties, and these Pencader A residents get in practice with a few friends. Not having enough space is a problem for any resident, but Sally Diederichsen seems to have found just enough room to exercise. North Campus, which is inhab- ited mainly by upperclassmen, is composed of the modern Pencader complexes and Christiana Towers skyscrapers. Each Pencader building is divided into quads, housing women on one side and men on the other. The 17 floor East Tower and 16 floor West Tower offer a spectacular view for those students living on the upper floors. In addi- tion, the Towers offer apart- ment style living, which in- cludes individual living rooms, kitchenettes, and bathrooms. Although North Campus seems separated from the rest of the campus, most students do not mind the short walk or bus ride to classes. Housing 57
