The food meccaSouthern Living Magazine called Durham the South’s tastiest town, and that’s no surprise with the amount of restaurants that have popped up over the past couple of years. One of Durham’s most recent hot spots is the Parlour—originally a food truck, the recently open store can be found at 117 Market St. and offers eclectic flavors such as avocado and purple sweet potato. Another recent Durham treat is Monut Donuts. Located on East Parrish St., try out a wide array of flavors from chocolate to salted bourbon. But in case you don’t have a strong sweet tooth, try checking out Pizza Toro on E Chapel Hill St and taste its oven-fired, homemade pizzas. You can also swing by Bull City Burger, which sits across the street from Monut Donuts, for some duck frites and a juicy bite.
Take a break from DukeSick of studying in Perkins? Need a change of pace? There’s a lot to do in Durham! Take a visit to the Durham Bulls, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. Made famous by the 1988 movie Bull Durham, the team draws in record crowds all season long, often filling its 10,000-seat downtown stadium designed by the architects of Camden Yards. Not a sports fan? Check out the Museum of Life and Sciences at 433 West Murray Avenue, and be sure to stop by their Magic Wings Butterfly House.
Explore outside of DurhamLooking for a fun day trip? There are a lot of places you can visit that lay just thirty to forty minutes outside of Durham. Try hiking along the scenic Eno River. Two local favorites are the hiking trails at Few Ford Access and Durham’s city park, West Point on the Eno. Not an outdoor person? Drive into Chapel Hill to try out some new restaurants and shopping.
Duke favoritesThere are some places most Duke students will at least check out once. If you ever need to pick-up a birthday gift or tune in for some retail therapy, head over to Southpoint Mall at 6910 Fayetville St. The mall portion of Southpoint is open until 9 p.m., but you can also head over to the movie theater afterwards as well. Also, keep an eye out for the North Carolina State Fair in October. Running every weekend in October, the state fair offers tons of rides, games and food. Just be sure not to eat the fried oreos before the Pharoh’s Fury.
Shop localJust off of East Campus, Ninth Street has a ton of quaint stores that speak to Durham’s artistic community. Stop by Vaguely Reminiscent for some quirky gifts or eclectic earrings or Zola Craft Gallery for some fine art. You can also take a short drive to Brightleaf Square for some more shopping.
Visit Offbeat Music for some vinyl records or cross the street and enter Morgan Imports and find anything you may need for your dorm room. WorkoutDon’t enjoy exercising in the gym? There are a lot of workout spots worth trying both on Duke’s campus and off. Duke’s East Campus loop is 1.64 miles long and offers a great way to see the surrounding Durham area and all of East Campus. You can also try the Al Buehler Cross Country Trail, a hilly, three-mile loop that circles around the perimeter of the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Course. There are also access points throughout Duke Forest that can offer more secluded running and hiking trails. Try the Shepherd Nature Trail located off of NC 751 at Gate C that is .8 miles long.
An afternoon delightFor both students and locals, there’s no better place to have an afternoon picnic or study session than the Sarah P. Duke Botanical Gardens. You can sunbathe on a blanket or throw a football on the spacious South Lawn or grab a seat with a book along the terrace. Watch the garden’s resident ducks and geese from one of the bridges over the pond in the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum.

Behind the MaskDuring World War I the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed “les
Diables Bleus,” were well known French soldiers. They first gained attention when their unique training and alpine knowledge was counted upon to break the stalemate of trench warfare in their native region of the French Alps. Unfortunately the Vosges Campaign in March, 1915, failed to alter the status quo even though the Blue Devils won accolades for their courage. However, their distinctive blue uniform with flowing cape and jaunty beret captured public imagination. When the United States entered the war, units of the French Blue Devils toured the country helping raise money in the war effort. Irving
Berlin captured their spirit in song describing them as “strong and active, most attractive . . . those Devils, the Blue Devils of France.”
As the war was ending in Europe, the Trinity College Board of Trustees lifted its quarter-century ban of football on campus. After playing an intramural class first year the traditional nomenclature of the Trinity Eleven, the Blue and White or the Methodists (as opposed to the Baptists of nearby Wake Forest) described the team. In September, 1921, the student newspaper, the Trinity Chronicle, launched a campaign for a
“catchy name, one of our own possession that would be instantly recognizable nationwide in songs, yells and publicity.” At a campus pep rally to stir up enthusiasm it was pointed out that Georgia Tech was gaining recognition as the “Golden Tornados” and that rival North Carolina State College had recently adopted the name “Wolf Pack.” There were numerous nominations including Catamounts, Grizzlies, Badgers, Dreadnaughts, and Captains which was in honor of the well-liked Coach W. W. “Cap” Card. Believing a choice utilizing the school colors of dark blue and white to be appropriate, the newspaper editors urged a selection from among the nominations of Blue Titans, Blue Eagles, Polar Bears, Blue Devils, Royal Blazes, or Blue Warriors. None of the nominations won strong favor but Blue Devils apparently had enough support to elicit the criticism that it would arouse opposition on the Methodist campus “for obvious reasons,” and that it might prove risky and jeopardize football if a controversial name were used at that particular time. The football season passed with no official selection of a name.
As the campus leaders from the Class of 1923 made plans for their senior year, they decided to select a name since the desired results by democratic nomination and vote had been inconclusive. The editors of The Archive and The Chanticleer, two of the other student publications, agreed that the newspaper staff should choose a name and “put it over.” Thus William H. Lander, as editor-in-chief, and Mike Bradshaw, as managing editor, of the Trinity Chronicle began the academic year 1922-23 referring to the athletic teams as the Blue Devils. Their class had been the first post-war freshmen and the student body was full of returning veterans so the name needed no explanation. Acknowledging that it was somewhat unpopular, they nevertheless believed it to be the best name nominated. Neither the college press nor the cheerleaders used the name that first year. In fact, The Chanticleer made fun of the selection and process by quoting someone saying “We will use blew devvies even if no one else does.” Much to the editor’s surprise no opposition materialized, not even from the college administration. The Chronicle staff continued its use and through repetition, Blue Devils eventually caught on.
Today the origin of the university mascot is virtually forgotten even though its instant, national recognition has long been established. With the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged throughout the country, the origin of Duke’s Blue Devil is one of the most often requested items of information in the University Archives. Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more military and patriotic than religious.

People under 21 years of age are not permitted to possess, consume, or distribute alcohol in the state of North Carolina.
Off campus, if you’re cited or arrested by Alcohol Law Enforcement, Alcohol Beverage Control Board, or Durham Police, you could pay: - 50 hours of community service - Court costs between $125 and $300 - Lawyer fees between $500 and $3000 - Probation through the criminal justice system - Additional fees for an alcohol education class ...and you’ll have a criminal record.
Back at Duke, if found in violation of university policy, you could face: - A formal warning - Disciplinary probation, which may affect your ability to participate in such programs as DukeEngage or study abroad - One or more semesters of suspension - Substance use counseling - An explanation to law, medical, and other graduate schools under the question “Have you ever been subject to disciplinary action at your undergraduate institution?”
That beer could cost you a lot more than a few bucks. Your actions today have consequences that last years down the road. Think about the price you might pay. If you do encounter law enforcement, cooperating with them might mean the difference between a verbal warning and thousands of dollars in fees and hours of your time.

Originally called the “Hymn to Trinity”, the Alma Mater was the work of one of Duke’s own when he was a senior in Trinity College. Robert H. James ‘24 said “I was inspired to write ‘A Hymn to Trinity’, a song that would show my gratitude and devotion to my College. And would express the feelings of my fellow students and others in the little world of Trinity.”
The first public singing was at the Flag Lowering where members of the Class of ’24 and their friends sang the song and the next year it was adopted as “Dear Old Duke”, the Alma Mater of Duke University.
Robert James was a native of Wilmington, North Carolina. He was a civilian professor of English, History, and government at the United States Naval Academy for twenty years. He also taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and the University of the City of New York. During World War II Mr. James was a naval officer and was awarded the Victory Medal and the Navy Medal. He passed away on September 26, 1982, in Wilmington. A ceremony was held in 1982 to dedicate a plaque in lasting tribute of Robert Henry James.
Since coming to Duke from Yale University in 1966, the Lemur Center has housed and studied the world’s largest and most diverse captive collection of rare prosimian primates (mostly lemurs from the island of Madagascar). As Madagascar’s population is currently doubling every 25 years, there is ever growing pressure for land, mainly for slash-and-burn agriculture. Therefore, the protection and preservation of these truly unique primates requires a holistic approach involving multiple strategies both in Madagascar and internationally.
The Lemur Center houses over 250 animals made up of 20 species and subspecies of prosimians. During a walking tour of the Center visitors are introduced to representatives from the species housed there. The protected enclosures and captive breeding programs are designed to enable researchers from around the world to study these unique animals , visitors to learn about these critically endangered primates, and for students to learn about primatology and conservation.
Unlike a zoo, visitors are not allowed to tour the Center unescorted, but rather are required to schedule appointments for a docent-guided walking tour of the facility. Admission fees directly support the lemurs. Work/study and volunteerpositions are available, but students need to provide their own transportation. For additional information see our web site at http://lemur.duke.edu and for appointments please call 919-401-7240.

The statue of James B. Duke and the Duke Chapel are just two reminders of the campus’ rich history.
By Adelaide McCulloch From the beginning, Duke University Chapel was meant to
serve the entire university. At the Service of Dedication in 1935, ministers from several faiths participated in the service, as well as officers of the university, faculty members, and students. Since then, the Chapel has served the University community in many ways. The Deans and campus ministers provide continuing op-portunities for worship, study, and outreach, including an 11:00 am worship service every Sunday morning that the entire campus is welcomed to. The Chapel hosts many weddings and funeral services for students, graduates, and staff each year. In addition, convocations and baccalaureates for various colleges of the uni-versity frequently take place in the Chapel. Past preachers have included the Rev. Billy Graham, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Rev. Charlene Kammerer, and Dr. Samuel Proctor, just to name a few.
A variety of musical performances takes place each year, in-cluding choral works, organ recitals, and visiting performers. The Duke University Chapel Choir is a strong and active choir which students are invited to join. In addition to singing for Sunday worship during the academic year, the choir performs two orato-rios a year, one of which is always Handel’s Messiah, performed each December. Perhaps the most memorable performance of Messiah took place on the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The audience emerged from hearing Handel’s work to be greeted by newsies and others announcing the bombing. The Vespers Ensemble is a talented small ensemble of singers that lead the Choral Vespers service on academic Thursdays at 5:15 pm, and perform two free concerts in the spring and fall. Each year, Duke Chapel offers an organ recital series of five free organ performances by renowned organists.
The two greatest changes to the Chapel occurred in the 1970s. In 1971, a fire sparked in the nave, destroying several pews and causing thousands of dollars in damage to the inte-rior of the Chapel. The pews were replaced with wooden chairs, which proved to be something of a blessing: the chairs can be moved to accommodate an orchestra, risers, and other sup-
ports for concerts and liturgical dance performances. In 1976, the dedication of the Benjamin N. Duke Memorial Organ took place. The organ, built above the entrance to the nave, is the single largest addition to the building since its completion and dedication in the 1930s.
Established endowments and offerings help defray the cost of the upkeep of the Chapel, enabling the Chapel offer en-trance to visitors at no charge.
The Stone Duke University Chapel is constructed of a volcanic stone
from the Duke Quarry in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The lec-tern, pulpit and other trimmings were made from Indiana lime-stone. The vaults of the choir are made of stone, but the walls and vaults of the nave and transepts are made of Guastavino tile, a sound-absorbing material. This tile had to be coated with a sealant prior to the installation of the Flentrop. This increased the reverberation time, making the Chapel more suited to the sounds of the new organ.
Gothic To simply explain Gothic architecture is a difficult, even
daunting task. It is an architecture of height--allowing for great height and space as well as for complex and delicate ornamenta-tion. The Gothic era spans something of 500 years--the Middle Ages of England and Western Europe. Most Gothic cathedrals are not all of a piece--one might have a Norman nave, a Perpendic-ular choir, one window from the 13th century, others from the 15th, perhaps even later. Often a Gothic cathedral might be as many as two hundred years in the making -- several generations of architects, stone cutters, and craftsmen. Fire might destroy a delicate window, leaving only a few pieces of glass to be used in the panes of its replacement. But it was five years between the laying of the cornerstone to the Service of Dedication in 1935. Duke University Chapel might be described as a synthesis of the best of Gothic. While one is not able to see every characteristic from each period of Gothic architecture, one can experience the height, space, ornamentation and color of a Gothic cathe-
dral. The decorative foliage at the base of the Memorial Chapel vaults, the intricate hand-carved woodwork of the choir, the 73-foot interior ceiling with its carved stone bosses, and over a mil-lion pieces of stained glass all combine to form one of the largest and most well-used university chapels in the United States.
Architects and Craftsmen The architects of the Chapel were Horace Trumbauer of
Philadelphia and his chief designer, Julian Abele, America’s first black architect of renown. Mr. Abele was educated at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania and in France.
The stone carving in the Chapel was done by John Donnelly, Inc., of New York. All of the woodwork was done by Irving and Casson--A.H. Davenport, Inc., of Boston. The ironwork was done by the William H. Jackson Company of New York.
The stained glass windows and the ornamental lead-and-gold symbols in the doors were designed and made by G. Owen Bonawit, Inc., of New York. Charles Keck of New York carved the recumbent statues on the tombs in the Memorial Chapel.

Approximately 45 percent of Duke undergraduates study abroad by the time they graduate. Still, some students do not realize how easy it can be to make room for study abroad in their academic schedules.
Duke’s Global Education Office for Undergraduates (GEO) offers 29 of its own summer and 17 of its own semester study abroad and domestic programs. Students may also choose from over 150 summer, semester, and academic-year approved programs around the world, including programs in the United States. There are study away options for all major, minor, and certificate programs.
Typical reasons a student might choose to study abroad include gaining key skills for an internship with an international company or increasing fluency in a language needed for a future graduate program. Paul Paparella, assistant director of the GEO, confirmed that students benefit from valuable pre-professional opportunities that often coexist with study abroad sojourns. The GEO has established several forms of collaboration with the Duke Career Center to help students translate the connections between their study abroad experiences and post-graduation employment prospects.
Global Ed offers infinite opportunities“Going abroad may seem frightening or risky, but
all of the greatest things are,” said Daniel Stafanus, who participated in both Duke in France (fall) and Duke in Oxford (summer). “I cannot promise you that going abroad will be easy, but it will be worth it...It is spontaneous, unpredictable, dynamic, and even the most mundane things can become hilarious...You have no idea what you’ll find - and that’s the best part of all.”
Ali Schwartz, who participated in the six-week Duke in Spain (summer) program, said she chose to study abroad because it allowed her to explore a whole new side of herself and the world.
“I never thought I could feel so strangely at home in a place so far from it,” she said. “[Study abroad] allowed me to see a different side of myself, causing an evolution in my perspective and creating a new horizon from which I can view the world as I go forward in my studies at Duke and beyond.”
Of all Duke students who studied away in 2013-2014, 41 percent went in the summer, 59 percent went during the fall, spring, or academic-year.
Summer study abroad is a viable option for students during the entire duration of their undergraduate career; students can even study abroad the summer after their freshman year. Ha Tran said she participated in the six-week Duke in Spain program after her freshman year to get a sense of what studying abroad was like before taking on a full-semester program later in her Duke career. It is not uncommon for students to study abroad more than once. It often impact students’ academic paths and future career choices.
Amanda Kelso, Executive Director of GEO, noted that Duke’s study abroad programs stand out compared to those at other universities because of the stellar quality of the Duke faculty leaders. Students are able to engage with faculty on a daily basis, developing personal and academic relationships with experts in the field. These relationships often continue when participants return to campus.
“Not only do students benefit from faculty contact during the actual program, but for many, the relationship extends after the study abroad experience to classrooms and research projects back at Duke,” Kelso said. “Participating in a Duke-In program is an excellent way to ensure that your study abroad experience has a connection to your studies.”
Kelso added that Duke also offers financial aid and several merit scholarships for its study abroad programs. Financial aid is available on a semester basis for the full program budget. Financial aid is also available for up to two summer programs.
Study away opportunities offer students the option to integrate into host communities through host family or dorm stays as well as in-class interactions with local students.
“It’s all about giving students options, while still offering a solid, concentrated and unique academic experience,” Kelso said.
She noted that students should stay tuned for new programs currently under development for future years, including Duke in Alaska, Duke Engineering in Ghana, DKU Neuroeconomics in China, Duke Semester in India, and others.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel “Americanah” has been chosen as the summer reading book for the Class of 2018—the first time that Duke has chosen a book written by a woman of color.
A 19 member committee of students, faculty and staff selected the book. Focusing on the dual stories of a woman who flees Nigeria to attend college in the United States and her high school love interest, who illegally emigrates to England, “Americanah” has been critically praised since its release last year.
“Diversity is not a specific factor in the selection process,” Simon Partner, co-chair of the selection committee and professor of Japanese history, wrote in an email Monday. “But we are delighted that this book features a brilliant young voice representing the perspective of a young African immigrant woman who happens to speak to some of the most vital issues in our society.”
The book was chosen from a pool of five finalists after plentiful discussion among committee members, Partner said. Guidelines included whether or not the book would prompt stimulating debate, resonate with incoming students and enrich the intellectual lives of the readers, he noted.
The other finalists were “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime
Walk” by Ben Fountain, “The Dinner” by Herman Koch, “The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards” by Kristopher Jansma and “The Yellow Birds” by Kevin Powers.
The committee received more than 600 recommendations and considered more than 400 books, according to a Duke News press release.
Since the Summer Reading Program began in 2002, the selected authors have included two women and two men of color, but Adichie—who is Nigerian—is the first woman of color.
During orientation week, freshmen will discuss the book in small groups—the first shared intellectual experience they will have as Duke students. Plans are being finalized to have Adichie speak at Duke early in the Fall, the press release stated.
“Americanah” was selected as one of the 10 Best Books of 2013 by The New York Times Book Review and won the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.
“We hope that Duke freshmen will engage with the important issues raised by the book,” Partner wrote. “I really can’t say what lessons they will learn - I think that the book is sophisticated enough not to convey any simple take-home messages.“
Class of 2018 summer reading book “Americanah” brings diversity to summer books of the past

WS 89S First Year Seminar: Girls Go Global Kimberly Lamm, TTH 8:30 – 9:45 AMAn exploration of how girlhood is imagined, represented, and lived around the globe. In looking at modern and contemporary �lm and literature in which girls play a central role, as well as aspects of visual and material culture (fashion, dolls, and video games) designed with girls in mind, we think about the cultural meanings attributed to girls. What kinds of images, stories, and objects have girls from the United States, West Africa, Japan, and Iran been given to imagine themselves in the world? How have girls created cultures for themselves? How do representations of girls re�ect culturally speci�c ideas about traditions, morals, and ethics? What do representations of and by girls tell us about the possibilities for and limitations upon freedom and gender equity in a world increasingly shaped by consumer culture? LIT 895, VMS 895 (ALP)

Duke Libraries: your favorite studying spotsAs a Duke student, you will likely spend a large portion
of your year in the library. And there is no place better equipped to meet all of your library needs than Duke.
The University’s library system is one of the top 10 private institution systems in the country. Centered around the Perkins, Bostock, and Rubenstein library complex on West Campus, the campus also boasts separately administered libraries at the Divinity School, the Fuqua School of Business, the School of Law and the School of Medicine.
Although undergraduates may step into one of the focused libraries for a research paper or if they are looking for a film to rent, Perkins and its offshoots generally meet and go beyond undergraduates’ needs. The central university library system includes Lilly Library and the Music Library on East Campus, Bostock Library, the Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, and the Pearse Memorial Library at the Duke Marine Lab.
Between these libraries, which are all within a short bus ride of one another, most students can find whatever book or information they need to complete nearly any assignment. They can also find movies to check out to watch for class or relaxation and ample space to study.
It is easy to think that with so many books and so much information spread among so many libraries, a student may never find what he or she is looking for. No assumption could be further from the truth. It is always good to stop for directions, and Duke librarians encourage students to ask for their assistance. As evidenced by their slogan all over the library and the Duke University Libraries website, the University’s library staff wants you to “Save time, ask a librarian.”
But students don’t have to seek out the information or reference desks to find help in the library. If a question or comment is not urgent, students can e-mail the library through its website.
Students can use the library website or computers to Instant Message a librarian with a question, and DukeRef will help you locate your source material whether you are on the fourth floor of Bostock or in your East Campus dorm room.
For immediate answers when a student is not near a computer to send an IM, students also have the option of texting a librarian. To seek assistance in any Perkins system library, a student need only text their question “DukeRef:...” to 265010. A librarian will promptly text back the answer to the wayward student’s phone.
But library life at Duke is about more than finding books for conducting research or writing papers. Spending time in the library is as essential to the lives of Duke students as watching basketball games.
Not only will Duke libraries provide you with reference help, research consultations, computer assistance through the Office of Information Technology and writing resources and tutors through the Writing Studio, it also provides study space to suit all students’ needs however different they may be.
Perkins, Bostock and Lilly libraries-—the most well-traversed libraries during exam season—offer computer clusters, silent reading rooms, group study rooms, desks and comfy chairs. The Link in the basement of Perkins is bright and perfect for study groups that need a lot of table space, and von der Heyden Pavilion in Perkins, which sells coffee and Saladelia food, is a louder popular spot.
The Duke University Libraries, with 11 locations on and near campus, offer small group study rooms and infinite reading sources.

More information and renovation photos are available on the library’s website at library.duke.edu/renovation.
14 | tuesday, July 1, 2014 Duke 101 the chronicle
Some Duke students may experience living on all three campuses throughout their academic career. Each campus offers a different social experience and has their positives and negatives. Here’s The Chronicle’s breakdown.
EAST CAMPUS
Background: All first-year students are required to live on East campus. It has fourteen residence halls, which are distributed among four neighborhoods. Neighborhood one consists of Alspaugh, Bassett, Brown and Pegram; neighborhood two consists of Aycock, Epworth, Giles, Jarvis and Wilson; neighborhood three consists of Gilbert-Addoms and Southgate; and neighborhood four consists of Bell Tower, Blackwell and Randolph.
History: East Campus was the site of Trinity College and the Woman’s College from 1930-1972. It wasn’t until 1995 when East Campus was a freshmen exclusive campus.
Dorm essentials: Some of the dorms, such as Blackwell, do not have a closet. There is an area built into the wall to hang clothing and put other belongings, but there is no door to cover the area. If you want some added privacy, try buying a shower curtain and rod as an easy, make your own closet. If you’re living in a dorm without air condition, such as Alspaugh, buy a fan ahead of time.
WEST CAMPUSBackground: Sophomores, juniors and seniors live
on West Campus. West is divided into seven residential quadrangles—Craven, Crowell, Wannamaker, Edens, Few, Keohane and Kilgo. Most academic classes are held on West Campus, with Duke classics such as the Chapel and Cameron Indoor Stadium existing there as well. West serves as the home for 10 Interfraternity Council fraternities and 13 Selective Living Groups.
History: Trinity College became Duke University in 1924 when James B. Duke started the Duke Endowment. As a result of the gift, Trinity College underwent an expansion, which created West Campus. The Duke Chapel opened on West Campus in 1930.
Dorm Essentials: Residence halls in West Campus come with their own kitchen, so if you enjoy cooking it is definitely worth buying some pots and pans. Use the common room refrigerator or buy one for your room to stock up on food.
CENTRAL CAMPUSBackground: Central campus houses over 1,000
students. All nine Panhellenic Association sororities, six fraternities and seven non-greek selected living groups currently reside on Central Campus. Students can live in studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartments.
History: Central campus was built as temporary housing in the 1970s. The apartments were renovated as part of a summer enhancement plan that began in Summer 2010 and concluded this summer. Past upgrades included additions to the campus, such as the creation of Devil’s Bistro and Mill Village, as well as external upgrades, such as repainting the exterior of Central Campus buildings and creating new walkways. The renovations this summer focused on the apartments themselves and involved interior upgrades, such as new floors and paint jobs.
A strategic plan in 2006 planned for extensive renovations to Central Campus that were expected to cost up to $350 million. These plans were put on hold, however, as a result of the economic crisis. There is no current plan to upgrade Central Campus as was outlined in 2006.
Dorm essentials: Many central campus apartments lack overhead lights in the bedrooms. Buy lamps and Christmas lights to add some light to the room. Additionally, each apartment has its own kitchen and bathroom, however since apartments are not communal living spaces, it is up to the apartment-mates to maintain these spaces. Stock up on cleaning supplies, toilet paper, dish washing soap, and other essentials before move-in.

All residence halls on East Campus house both men and women. Several halls have single-gender floors, as well. All bathrooms are designated by gender with the exception of guest bathrooms on the first floor.
