These three students enjoy relaxing outside the residence halls. Amongst other things, the residence hall atmosphere is one that allows for socializing, studying, dining, or just plain hanging out. In the fall, many students can be seen taking advantage of the nice weather by study- ing outdoors.

ilFE Although a small room with a couple of windows, a built- in desk, a metal closet, and a short walk to the bathroom may sound like prison to some people, but to others it ' s the best way to live. Residence halls offer a variety of features to numerous students at UGA. Brumby Hall has an exercise room where aerobics are taught by certified instructors .several times a week, Russell Hall has a weight room. Creswell Hall has a computer lab and a large study r(u)m, Oglethorpe Hall has suites with a bathroom connect- ing every two rooms, and most all of the residence halls are air- conditioned and have cable television. Also included in the residence halls are kitchens, laundry rooms, vending machines, mail boxes, and lounges. Many students feel the advantages of living in a residence hall greatly outweigh the disadvantages, especially of living in an apartment or a fraternity or sorority house. Tisha Simmons, a freshman majoring in social work, speaks in favor of the residence halls because had she not lived in a dorm, she would never have made the lasting friendships that the residence halls gave her an opportunity to make. I .auren Fetters, a freshman psychology major, and her roommate, Ashley Harris, a freshman focus- ing on pre-law, both agree that it was hard to adjust to living in the dorms at first, but getting used to it was a quick and enjoyable process. In fact, many people adjust so well to life in the residence halls that they continue to live in the dorms even after their freshman year. Resident Assistants are upper classmen trained to live on each lloor with residents. These Resident Assistants are availabe lor students with questions and pidblems ciiiiccmmg the University or life in general. Although many students complain about liv- ing in the dorms, the experience of sharing a room, a bathroom, and telephone conversations is not all that bad! [.iving in the residence halls is a part of the overall college experience that should not be missed by anyone. -Casey Mc ndoo 12 RESIDENCELIFE
