Jjivinfi on the £ h fct Residence life. Four bare walls, two dingy matresses, and a community bath- room down the hall. It is not the image most students have in mind when they arrive on campus, but with a little imagination this hell hole can turn into a home away from home. With a little paint, a few posters and some of the necessary major appliances, (such as a television, a stereo, a refrigerator and a microwave) a dorm room can become actually liveable. Special fea- tures in some of the dorms make them even more desirable to live in. Russell Hall has a weight room for those who want to tone up; while in Brumby, an exercise room is available. The ever- popular Oglethorpe House has a bath- room connecting two rooms so a trip down the hall becomes unnecessary. Most dorms also have laundry rooms, kitchens, snack machines, lounges and mailboxes. Living in the dorms gives stu- dents a chance to become acquainted with others. Barry Vincent, a fresh- man living in Creswell, agrees that living on campus is a great way to meet other students, especially due to the fact that his dorm is co-ed. Vincent believes he will achieve the full college experience by living in a dorm. Other positive aspects of living on campus is the location. All of the dorms are within walking distance to I i.in.i C.ipp most of the student ' s classes. For the classes that are a little further away, there is a bus stop in the near vicinity of every dorm. Of course, for the students who wake up five minutes before class starts (due to a late-night party across the hall), the only option is to run. The dorms are never close enough for that! A dorm room is a place to sleep, a place to study and a place to socialize. The dorms provide a place where friends can be made, roommates can be loved or hated, and studying can be done or put off. A dorm can be adored or despised, but for nine months it is home. -Kristen Ray Although operating computers can become quite headache. Creswell provides the essential facil ties to make the grade. Freshmen roommates Brent Skolnick and Paul Hitchcock believe that living in Reed Hall enables them to reach their destinations with ease. 22 J RESIDENCE LIFE
