Coming to college, I was expecting a lot of change and challenges to come my way. I knew that choosing a dorm on campus would help me feel more comfortable and feel more connected to other students on campus despite the circumstances of the current pandemic. Duren contains staff and RA's that deeply care for the safety and comfort of it's residents. They provide us with interactive zoom calls and movie nights frequently. Though it is a small dorm, it feels cozy and spacious to many. There is a dining hall right across the street from this small dorm so there is always accessibility to food.
