Besides its traditional image as a hall of scholars, it has developed into an active and lively place to live. It was here in the late 1980s that the campus Rugby Club was born, started by 10 residents with a common affection for bruises. A weekly in-hall publication titled Gentlemen's Weekly keeps all residents informed about the happenings in the hall and on campus. In the last year, it has become the most popular hall for incoming freshmen and has the highest percentage of returning students. There is a real diversity in the character of people that live here, yet a real openness between all residents.
Most people always have their doors open and are willing to talk.
My favorite part about living in Christie is just hanging out and talking about anything that comes up. Some of the amazing and odd things we talk about have made those conversations some of the most memorable moments of my time on campus.
