Perkins Hall

My best memories are from late at night when I'm trying to procrastinate doing work. Since everyone leaves their doors open, I stop by, say hi, and catch up with people I haven't seen in a few days or so. Great conversations happen about almost anything and everything when you're with the people you live with.

No, no personal sinks or mirrors- that's all in the hall bathroom.
Rachael Kirkwood commented in Dorm Amenities
Do the dorm rooms have personal sinks in them?
Chinmaya Kulkarni commented in PERKINS is so far away form the main campus.
Hey guys,
I lived in Perkins last year, and it's really a very nice place. If you're a brisk walker, the Ratty is just about 5 minutes away. People will take great pleasure in pitying you for living in such a far-off place, but, as you'll see...
