Dorms.

They're fun, they're all dorm-like with an essence of, someone lived here before me, which not only adds to their character but enriches the vibe of the building. I live in Main Street Suites which is one of the newer dorms Champlain has, but not the newest! Funny fact about MSS, it won a design award! How cool is that! I'm a designer living in a design like place of awesomeness.

Two thing that bug me, and I'm not sure how this dorm did win that competition, the windows don't open, and there aren't any straight lines in this entire building. I have no idea what happened, but none, architecturally speaking, of the walls, elevator, baseboards, etc. are straight. It's pretty crazy!

Two things that I am in love with are : They didn't paint every single wall white!! Yay! That always drove me up a wall with the other dorms...the whitewashed walls, ceilings, ceiling tiles...you name it, it was white. They got fancy and painted one or two walls in the suites purple....a good shade of purple too.

Like anything dorms have their loves and their hates. With Champlain's housing, I've found the character of the house, yes, it is a legit, straight up house, (or used to be) over-ride the leaky sinks or the laundry machines being in the BASEMENT! It's a guaranteed work-out. Uber plus!

Peace!
