^ How does Seasons compare to the UDCC?
I also lived on Cessna, Al. 2005 school year.
Seasons has slightly better food in my opinion. Layout is a thousand time better and less crowded! Conversations which is right by seasons is the best food on campus...selection is lower but if you check the menu you will be fine.
It always seemd to me that the food at the old MWL dining hall was the exact same stuff they served at UDCC, just with much less selection and a crappier looking dining area.
^ Name rings a bell. I think I saw you around a few times, knew of you but hadn't ever really met you. Did you know Audrey?
RayShimley said:But at least we got our Ice Cream machine!! Our group would have "Cone offs" after every meal where one person had the chocolate and the other vanilla to see who could stack their cone the highest before it collapsed. Would've been great preparation for anyone going on to a career of serving Clone Cones.
Larch and Willow were pretty much a co-ed animal house when I was there. Pretty much every floor in both of those buildings was wild. It was an absolute blast.
Something about those concrete walls that just makes 18/19 year olds go freaking crazy. Plus, you're very close to JTS and Hilton.
I'd recommend the BWR area of Old RCA. Good location, quintessential college look and feel inside (less hotel like thanNew RCA, new Eaton, etc). Girls are nearby but I think it is better to not go for coed dorms...when girls live down the hall the guys can't help but always be "trying to impress" and there is less dorm camaraderie, at least in my observations and memories.
Unsolicited advice, don't leave for apartment too soon. Stay at least 2 years in dorms.
cough... is Helser still an option lol. Helser Louden Alum here, kicked us all out so they could tear the building down only to put a bunch of foreigners in there the next year. Shame really, I bet it stank in there after that mayonnaise filled turkey was left in the elevator shaft by my neighbors. Only perk that was ever with Helser were the girls in Carpenter... niiiice.
Helser gets a lot of grief, and rightfully so. I woudn't recommend living there; frankly, I can't believe it's still around. When I was there '98-'99 it was mostly engineers which did not cater to the partying crowd (me).
However, I was fortunate enough to live on a floor dedicated to design students (read: party crowd). It was co-ed and booze was allowed (not if you were under 21, but the rules were hardly enforced unless you were being a complete *******). I loved it and if I had to do it over again I'd choose the same path. But I don't think that most of the people who lived in Helser would probably agree.
Edit: and there was a design studio in the basement that we all had the code for where you could get some quiet time for studying without having to leave the building.
