Grand Opening President Dean Hubbard along with staff from Hudson and Perrin cut the ribbon in front of the nevvh ' constructed halls. The residence halls housed 500 new freshmen in their first year on campus. Photo by Kiu h ' cii Viiiute Kamp fresh new look Hudson and Perrin are suite It was nothing new to freshmen. But I returning students, Hving the suite life something most upperclassmen have ever experienced. David Lewev, a junior who lives on impus, said the freshmen should reallv e thankful for the new suites. I lived in Phillips my freshman vear id then li ed off campus last year so I ever got to li ' e in a suite, Lewev said, ' m reallv jealous of all the new fresh- len who get a nice new suite to live in »eir first year here. Matt Matthews is the hall director of ?rrin and Desi Campbell is the hall di- !Ctor of Hudson. Matthews believes the udents are verv thankful for this new uilding and enjov living in Perrin. The students and evervone living there take full advantage of the new facility as well as the new environment. The walls are covered with activities that not only the residential assistants have set up but students as well. Rvan Heft, an RA from Hudson Hall, recognizes the unity of students in the hall. Residents are a lot more involved with the activities the RA ' s put on and that forms a greater bond with kids on each floor, Heft said. Even with the positive aspects of unitv and environment, the new build- ing ' s structure was an issue. There were problems with the build- ing at first but that goes for almost every new building, said Matthews. It takes a couple of months to get the little kinks worked out. At the beginning of the vear there were multiple issues with flooding. The building is built on this mas- sive hill so whenever it rains all the water comes rushing down the hill and puddles up at the back doors of Hud- son, Heft said. The first rain we got this vear caused a big puddle at the foot of the door. But the contractors fixed that problem. Overall, most of the freshmen living in Hudson and Perrin enjoy the dorms, especiallv since they are the first ones to live there. It is really nice to live in these new suite dorms as freshmen, but it ' s kind of even cooler since we ' re the very first class to trv them out, Jordan Lewis said, w ■ Dannv Schill d • Erik Schrader freshmen halls DD
