East Hall

Why put only two network ports in a study room which three girls share?

Only two internet connections, but three people.

Need more outlets in rooms.

Dorms need work, singles arenít big enough

There was a theft that was not handled properly

My room was always cold!, dorms should have pull out trays

3 people should not have to live in one room for the amount of money paid

Open house rules need to be changed, too strict

My roommate had a serious problem requiring extensive counseling. I felt I needed someone to talk to who wouldn't

overreact and immediately want to kick her out or yell at me. I was unsatisfied with floor activities, we had none. The
ARA was inconsiderate, and the RD was often difficult to find.

(East Hall/London) Three to a room was unsatisfactory when the room was so small

Needed more dorm activities

Lambein

Liked the laundry area and small kitchen on each floor

I loved dorm life and my roommate.

Her RA was not a leader.

Shenawana

Shen is antiquated

The physical dorm buildings are the worst weíve seen

Bathroom stalls reaked, network connections in lounge?

Outlet ports in the lounge would be helpful

Need soap dispenser, single faucets

RA was never there!

Dirty and rundown dorm.

South Hall

Telephone system in South was terrible first semester.

Could use some paint and new carpet. Screen was badly torn in lounge.
