"I’ve lived on campus for two years and am coming back next year.  It is great to be so close to everything – dining halls, classrooms, the rec center.  It’s like a supportive team here – everyone is going through the same things at the same time."
- Kyle, Junior

"I’m friends with all sorts of people that I never would have spoken to in high school.  Living in this hall has taught me to get along with everyone."
- Kim, first year student
