5 New Dorms

[davidpaul123]

The small private school will use the proceeds to begin ­construction on five new ­residential halls on its campus five miles north of downtown Dallas. Upon completion of the facilities in 2014, sophomores will be required to live in school dormitories along with first-year students.

The residential complex will provide living space for 1,250 students, and will be configured as residential commons with space for classes and social activities, and apartments for faculty and staff. A common dining hall will be built near the new dormitories.

Several of the 18 existing residential halls also will be renovated to add or ­enlarge classroom and meeting space and faculty apartments. The existing dormitories, including four for graduate and married students, currently have some 2,000 beds.

i predict shoddy paint jobs in every room that results in chipping paint and lots of $25 dollar fines.

I'm sensing some unpleasant memories connected to a recent on-campus living experience...

haha, yep.

I moved in to Mary-Hay immediately after when they finished renovating it and they had kicked us out of Boaz...being someone who has spent a couple years in construction/carpentry i immediately noticed the crappy job the contractors did when i looked closely at my room.

The day I moved out of Virginia Snyder, I saw so much paint come off the walls

SMU does everything on the cheap. I moved from a fantastic unrenovated room in Peyton to the newly remodeled Shuttles. It was terrible. The elevator never worked, the heat/AC were unreliable, the rooms were tiny, hollow walls meant you could never get any quiet, florescent lighting, "smart" lighting that broke after a month and made the hall always dark, fire alarms constantly going off for no reason, some idiot decided to make the lounges open... so there wasn't a quiet place to study in the whole building...

I could go on.
