Stanton Residence

The elevators always have something wrong with them. The building is old, the walls are paper thin and the paint is cracking. The dust that accumulates is astonishing, the mop smells like puke and The Rez is never open on holidays.
However, this is residence, it’s as close as it gets to campus with cheap accommodation. All inclusive (not food, of course).
One last thing, the «high-​speed Internet» is only available on holidays when every other student is gone. On some days, I struggle to stream a YouTube video at the lowest settings.

I spent my first year of university living here in the Stanton «penthouse». Really this just meant the 16^th floor in our case, there was really nothing special about being on the top except the great people! I have always thought back to residence with fond memories, even if our building was a bit old and had to be fumigated and had fire alarms frequently!
I had originally wanted a room in the New Residence, a building where you live more independently and don’t have to be within a few feet of your roommate, but think that living in close quarters gives you a chance to get to know more people better.
Phone and internet is included in Stanton, so you don’t have to worry about having extra bills each month. Most people I know were on the meal plan, but there is a communal kitchen on each floor, so you could definitely cook for yourself if you’d like. That is what I did for the second half of the year, when eating subs got old.
Stanton was a great experience, most of all, it’s character.
