Well, let me tell you that <em>there is no where bad to live<\/em> on campus. Each dorm has there own unique set of perks that come along with living there. Feel free to take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/campusmap\/\">Campus Map<\/a> to see where each building is on campus. One of the amazing amenities that this school offers is the comfort and decor of each building, <em>especially<\/em> student housing. But don\u2019t simply take my word for it, keep reading and see what students who lived in the dorms thought of them!<\/p>\n<p><strong>BELK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>#29 on the Campus Map<\/p>\n<p>Perks: Near Smith Library and Slane Student Center which is home to: Starbucks, the bookstore, Chik-Fil-A, Subway, Slane fitness center, the Cafe, an outdoor pool and the Post Office.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>suite style with a total of 8 students<\/li>\n<li>twin-sized beds<\/li>\n<li>two students per room<\/li>\n<li>balcony access<\/li>\n<li>living room<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite part of living in Belk was that I lived with the 7 other Media Fellow girls and collectively we lived next to the 8 boys. It was really fun sharing the common room, getting to know all the other girls in my suite, while also having my own space to go back to if I needed to focus on homework or something.\u201d Deirdre Logan, Sophomore<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLESSING: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>#30 0n the Campus Map<\/p>\n<p>Perks: Right next to Slane Student Center which is the same building as: Starbucks, the bookstore, Chik-Fil-A, Subway, Slane fitness center, the Cafe, an outdoor pool and the Post Office.

It was really nice to have a full kitchen and living room so that we could always have friends over, but if I needed to study I could simply close my door.\u201d Katie O\u2019Sullivan, Junior<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>R.G.

Also only having to share the bathroom with 3 other people!\u201d Will Peacock, Junior<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing in the middle of campus was the best part of living in Wanek for me. Everything is so close, especially the different places to eat! I\u2019m also so grateful to have met my suite-mate, she\u2019s my absolute best friend on campus.\u201d Marion Macphail, Sophomore<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNIVERSITY CENTER II: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>#23 on the Campus Map<\/p>\n<p>Perks: Close to the UC gym, the business center and right behind the R.G.

We always had our doors open and walked to class together, it was so fun. And of course the infamous swing right outside the building!\u201d Sarah Obletz, Junior<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved the complex because everyone on my hall always left their doors open and we would all visit each other&#8217;s rooms.

Perks: Across the street from Slane Student Center which has: Starbucks, the bookstore, Chik-fil-a, Subway, Slane fitness center, the Cafe, an outdoor pool and the Post Office. It sits right on the promenade so you are close to the academic buildings. Near Smith Library as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now you have the ultimate guide to each dorm on campus, so choose wisely! But in reality there is no bad choice. Like I said earlier, each dorm has their own benefits it just depends on what style you prefer most. Freshman year will be one of the best years of your life, with a lot of change happening. Going to college and moving away from home is hard <em>but exciting <\/em>and now you have a closer look to what you\u2019ll soon be calling your new home.
