I was told that when the temperature dropped to 40 degrees, it would be turned on. Now that it has been turned on, it feels like you have stepped, not into a room but into a sauna. The damp musty smell never fails to find its way to your nose. Visits to Dawson and Sullivan Halls feel like the Marriott and the Hilton in comparison. There is an assortment of little creatures sharing our rooms with us.
Residents share their little spaces with everything from flies to cockroaches to mice.
A resident, this semester, has caught five mice in a two and a half hour time period. It is alleged by students from Sullivan and Dawson Halls that if their behavior isn t up to WVSC s standards, they would be sent to Gore Hall as a punishment. The building is a health hazard. I feel that since the residents of Gore Hall pay the same tuition as every other resident of this campus, they should be given the same basic amenities as everyone else. These matters should be addressed by the proper officials before someone becomes ill or seriously hurt.
