V N X S Michelle Rae DIFFERENCES North Campus : Vera Baits STORY BY DOUG STEELE Sandwiched between Bursley, a primarily first-year student dorm, and Northwood, married student housing, Vera Baits distinguished itself with its mostly senior and graduate student population. Situated on the hill area of North Campus, the complex was comprised of two sets of five buildings. Geared to meet the specific needs of its older residents, kitchenettes were located throughout the dormitories rather than cafeterias. If a resident elected not to cook, he or she had the opportunity to purchase a meal plan to eat at any of the other dorms. Baits was also unusual in the way rooms were set up. Rather than the tradi- tional two- or three-occu- pant rooms, Baits offered suites, each with its own bathroom. Foreign students com- prised a considerable por- tion of the residents in Baits. In response, the staff went to great lengths After a long night of studying, Dae Rak Kim to help these students in watches a television program in his room. their transition to a new country and university. The people helped me in understanding not only the school but also the country, said engineering major Amrai Nushon. An added bonus of Baits housing was the possibility of winning a parking space in the annual lottery. This was especially important to the large number of upperclassmen and graduate students, who often needed cars to go to work or to get to central campus. The availability of parking saved lucky residents from the hassles of finding parking spaces on campus as well as the expense of finding off-campus spots. Known for its quiet setting and friendly people, Baits allowed residents the freedom of living on one ' s own along with the amenities of dorm living. It was an ideal place for students to accomplish their scholarly goals and to socialize with their colleagues. Residence Halls 323
