Leaving her dorm, junior art student Sonja Barash appreciates the close proximity of her dorm to her classes. One of the benefits of all female dorms such as Helen Newberry was their location, photo by Audra Rowley For those who live in co-ed dorms, it may be hard to understand why anyone would choose to live in an all-female dorm. The idea of lockdown hours and escort policies deterred many from living in the various girls ' dorms on campus like Betsy Barbour, Helen Newberry, Martha Cook and Stockwell. There were also those who felt that by living in all girls dorms they would lose the experience that one gains living in co-ed housing. For some residents the option to live in all female housing was not their first preference, but occurred due to luck of the draw. There were those who wanted a single room and a girls ' dorm was the only place they could find one. For others the reasons for choosing all-female hous- ing were as diverse as the residents who have occupied the dorms. Many residents enjoyed the quieter atmosphere that went along with living in all-female housing. The overall ambiance of fe- male housing tended to be very different than the co-ed dorms on campus. The quiet, clean and home-like atmosphere of the girls ' dorms at- tracted many residents including Kelly Utrup, an ISA junior, I prefer female housing because they are generally cleaner and more quiet. I like being able to study in my room without having to worry about someone playing loud music. Stockwell doesn ' t seem as much like a ' dorm ' as the other halls either. It was these qualities that appealed to many and ultimately were the reasons for the preference for all-female housing. While some chose all-female housing for the home-like atmosphere, others chose this form of housing for a sense of security they would be lacking living in the co-ed housing. The escort policies and earlier lock down hours that were associated with girls ' dorms on campus were comforting for many residents. It was those policies that prevented strangers and unwanted visitors from entering and reduced the number of problems that were associated with housing that did not have these policies. 262 Female Dorms
