Perkins Hall Forum
The Perkins Hall Forum is a place to meet other students in your residence hall, discuss your housing assignments, or anything else that affects life in Perkins Hall.
Here is what people are currently discussing.
Matthew Mahoney commented in PERKINS is so far away form the main campus.
Erm, we have laundry machines in the basement. I don't know why I'd bother having someone else do my laundry, because laundry's pretty easy to take care of. And it's not like we have to go far to do it.
Gregory Sewitz commented in PERKINS is so far away form the main campus.

Jiacui Li commented in PERKINS is so far away form the main campus.
