Housing to me is the places on campus where students can choose to survive or thrive in during their final academic years. From what I've heard from friends going to other schools dorms are typically small, stinking, and small. Maybe its just the cleanliness of me and my roommate but I havent had any problems with the stank of the dorms themselves. Also as much as they complain about the smell they wine about the size. I wouldn't mind having more space for activities, but dont think I wouldn't be able to survive with a little less. I did have a little let down when I found out where I would end up living. Leading up to orientation I was getting information saying I would live in north wallace, my first choice. However when I got to the check in to move in my belongings they gave me a key and told me I was in south wallace. I almost cried. My first choice for housing next yea would be living in Parsonage, the old honors house with some people from the track team. We caught wind that they were changing the function of it from honors to normal campus housing. I am so excited about this prospect because of the legends Ive heard of coming from the old track house. This house was immediately beside the stadium which would be very convient for everyone due to its proximity. However, I missed the opportunity to live here by a few years. Only one student still on the team ever lived in it. When alumni come back, to see the team and Coach, we always get to here the antics and Krazy stories that could involve rotting carcasses or finding strangers and then needles in the basement. Apparently over the years the house has been too neglected to allow students to live there. They say they were going to knock it down. That would be to bad. When I heard they were renovating the Rose O'Neill House it made me think there was a possibility for the track house to get he same treatment. This seems unlikely
That is plan A, but because there is a lot that has to go right first. We are looking to live in Summit next.
