QQLLE LEUQZYULJQ Students at HCC have several choices in regards to where they will live while going to college. Liv- ing in the dormitories, at home, or in an apartment are the three places where students can reside, but the choice is up to the in- dividual student and his or her parents. Some students decide themselves where they will be liv- ing while attending HCC, while others rely on their parents to help them make the decision which is many times based on the amount of money involved. There are pros and cons to each living arrange- ment. Living at home can save both the student and parents money. It is also good for students who do not mind having a few rules to live by or who are not ready to live on their own or in the dorms. All bills are paid and the food is usually much better than that at the school cafeteria or at a fast food restaurant. The dormitories are an alter- native for students who are atten- ding HCC from towns and cities farther than driving distance. Some students find the many rules at the dorms a drawback to living there, as well as having to walk several blocks to the cafeteria for every meal. The dorms can also be very noisy and not the best places for students who find it hard to con- centrate while studying. However, the student residing in the dorm makes many new friends and does not have to fight for a parking place upon going to class. Apartment living is for the more independent students at HCC. Many times several students live together in order to share living expenses. The residents only have the rules they make personally to abide by, and privacy is much greater than if living at home or in the dorms. The choice of menu is also up to the apartment dweller and is often times better than the cafeteria and more appetizing than mom's selection. Whichever arrangement the stu- dent chooses to live in, there are arguements for the good and bad of each. lt is entirely up to the per- sonality and affordability of each individual student as to where he or she will stay while attending HCC. . 14 Student Life 2.

16 Student Life ECUMJN L...... Many of the activities for students during the fall semester are designed to center around the football homecoming game. The week before the homecoming game is usually the time where most of the events are held, leaving the football game for the finale. The first event usually held is a homecoming assembly where the pep band and cheerleaders perform, and the football players are in- troduced to students. A powderpuff football game between the freshmen and the sophomores is held, usually attracting a large crowd. Parents Day is one of the most popular events held during the week before homecoming. Parentsyfaculty, students and staff are the guests of the HCC Alumni Association and the American Food Management for a picnic where the HCC Jazz Ensemble performs. The homecoming couples were nominated by eleven campus organizations for the i983 fall semester.
