Finding My way

How many people out there can say they have ridden a scooter and bicycle around their room? I just became one of them. If my RA is reading this, I apologize. My new residence hall room in Ottawa House West is amazing!

Three of my closest friends and I share a spacious suite in UT’s newest residence hall, which was opened in 2004. We have two bedrooms, a common area, and a bathroom. Our common area comes complete with a couch and armchair, plus shelves we use as a TV stand. All of our furniture is new. It doesn’t get much better than this!

That being said, I must be honest and say I miss living in the Academic House. I have come to believe that a college student’s first residence hall room will always be his/her home while experiencing college life. The community we built on the second floor of A-House last year was incredible. Aileen, our resident advisor, welcomed all the girls on the floor and encouraged us to get to know one another. Some of the best memories I have made so far at UT were with the girls I bonded with at A-House.

While I miss living in the Academic House, it is only fair that I step aside and let a new community of residents experience the wonders it has to offer. I have been priveleged enough to meet and spend time with many of the girls that live in the rooms in which I spent so much of my time last year. They are all so wonderful! They have already built an exceptionally strong community in their halls and have formed inseperable bonds. Seeing this is truly a pleasure for me.

Living on campus provides students with an unforgettable experience. I encourage all students to take advantage of residential living at UT. Who knows, you could even have the space to ride a scooter (with wheels that light up, of course) into your friend’s room!
