T h e L a d i e s o f t s o l r here's a reason we ' re first," de– clared Junior Vir- inia Hawthorne of her jsidential hall. The girls of 501 felt their residential xperience was made all the lore exciting, and their VISA experience on the 'hole was highlighted ecause of the fact that they v e d i nO l . "We're closest to Eagle nd the main building, what ould be better?" asked enior Sabrina Calice about 501, her residential hall of iree years. One of the things that 01 girls loved about their hall was that they were the closest to their classes and were only a hop, skip, and j ump from Eagle. "If I 'm late for class," said Sabrina, "it's a real short run over to the main building." Though the value of being close to school was appreciated, so was the value of being away from the other halls. Junior Janessa Stream, a member of 1501 's D-wing said, "I like it that we are away from people. It's not as noisy." The friendly disposi– tions of the members of 01, including the students, staff, and Residential Counselors, made 1501 a "chill" place to live, as Senior A-wing CD Marcy Van Brunt-McMillan said. "I've always lived here, and I've enjoyed it all three years." The RCs felt that way as well. A two-year RC, C-wing's Ami Trosley felt that she fit in 01 like a member of a family: "I think 01 is the best hall in that it makes people feel welcome. I feel comfortable being myself around students and staff here, and that's what makes me love my job." As a first year RC, D-wing's Jackie Giese had much of the same response. "I love working with the cooperative kids here. It's like a family." Though the residential hall of 1501 had several advantages above some of the other halls, such as lovation and room accesso– ries, there was one aspect which as brought up more than any other. The excite– ment of living in 01 was due more to the people who lived there rather than anywhere else. c fcesldential c £iU \109
