That provides access to the living rooms. All the living rooms are in the front, and all the bedrooms are in the back. This allows for more quiet in the sleep area. The central interior hall was eliminated. We have upgraded the facilities, not just with new furniture and improved living spaces, but with better security and even a computer lab.
Students can be proud to live on campus.
In their freshman years they can stay in one of the three community-style residence halls and get to know everyone. Then the following year, they can move into a suite and enjoy all the advantages of an apartment without having to buy furniture. It's convenient for them, too, because if they forget a book or a paper, they can come back and pick it up, and they can study in their rooms between classes. Also, I think students don't realize how much safety and security is a part of where they live. We installed an electronic key system, so if they lose their key, their new key will erase the old code.
