l i l DGRMITORIES w 'AV 5 , VVAA ggi, ffyrf Looking up aT The dorms, a casual observer can see nofhing of The close relaTionship ThaT develops wiThin. From The day Thaf school opens, The rooms in The Twelve residence halls on and off campus quickly begin To acquire The characTer of Their new inhabiTanTs. Soon afTer The arrival of The occupanTs, The cold, gray walls of The dorms Take on life and color. PosTers are hung and windows decorafed as each sTudenT aTTempTs To person- alize his new home, Names on doors quickly loecome familiar faces and sTrangers Turn inTo new friends. Each residence hall has iTs own personaliTy. The four off-campus dorms - McAuley, Universify Plaza, Farwell and STudenT House, each puT ouT special efforTs To give The mosT To Their residenTs. AfTer a long day of lisTening To lecTures and Taking exams, Plaza residenTs can relax aT Their privaTe pool. lT's a greaf way To release Ten- sion and geT some exercise. Farwell's bus service saves iTs residenTs from The long walks To campus each day. Two Mercy nuns, Sis- Ters Jeanine and Evelyn, run McAuley Residence Hall and offer Their sTudenTs a smaller capaciTy, a homey seTTing and privacy. They work wiTh The independenTs To provide recreaTional and social evenTs for The girls ThaT live There. A close-kniT group forms aT STudenT House as privaTe parTies come inTo full swing. Granf and STevenson Towers, marking The siTe of NlU To The disTanT Traveler, Take Their sTand on The edge of The campus. The residenTs of Sfevenson NorTh feel so much ouT in The counTry ThaT They nicknamed Their Tower The Cornfield HilTon. Though The Towers seem To be sfuck ouT in The middle of corn counTry, They are no more ouT of Tune wiTh campus acTiviTies Than Those dorms locafed across from The UniversiTy CenTer. GranT NorTh offers iTs residenTs a living and learning program ThaT enables iTs residenTs To aTTend classes wiThouT leaving Their dorm. You really appreciaTe whaT The dorm does for you, especially when The campus is snowed in and you know ThaT you don'T have To go any- where oufside of The dorm for class.
