Residence halls Home sweet dorm ' en Residence halls on campus offer a variety of advantages, as well as a roof over the students ' heads and a small room to temporarily call home. Buskirk and Laidley Halls and Twin Towers West house female residents, Hodges and Twin Towers East house males and Holderby Hall serves as a co-ed residence with men and wom- ving on different sides of the same floor. Pamela L. Steele, Apple Grove, senior, has lived in the residence halls for four years and said she thinks living in the residence halls pro- vides convenience in scheduling for classes. I live close enough to commute, Steele said. By living in the dorms I can take advantage of scheduling without worring about scheduling for commuting. My parents didn ' t really want me to live in an apartment, because they felt it was safer and more secure in residence halls, she said. Michele M. Tepe, Wheeling, senior, said the reason she has lived in the residence halls for four years is the friends she has made. Tepe said, There were a lot of girls on the floor that I knew and I wanted to come back. It seems to be easier to get to my classes, she said. You can just go back to your room after class, and you don ' t have to worry about run- ning all over the place. Lisha L. Longwell, Sistersville sophomore and resident adviser in Twin Towers West, said, You learn to live in an environment where you must cooperate with other residence hall mem- bers, and there are positive relationships you can build with other residents and staff. At no other time in your lif e are you going to have so many people you own age to relate to and enjoy things with. dormUfe— 13
