Here are some quick photos of my dormitory suite and room and the surrounding area viewed from the windows. The building is arranged like part of a wagon wheel with four hallways coming out of a circular central lobby. At the end of each hall is a tower with five floors, each of which holds two suites. Each suite has six two person rooms, two of which contain a single international student such as myself.

| We have two entry ways like this, you have to take your shoes off before stepping up onto the fake wood paneling. |
 |
| The bathroom is quite small. |
 |
| Hand shower, luckily there is also a holder for the nozzle. |
 |
| Shared living quarters. |
 |
| Part of me wants there to be a fire just so I can repel down the side of the building. |
 |
| The coat closet didn't come with hangers, but I have some now. |
 |
| The bedding we received is two quilt-like blankets and a small pillow. |
Both "sheets" just lay on top of the bed and are really quite comfortable. You don't have to worry about anything coming untucked and, surprisingly enough, the bed is long enough for me. My side of the desk has two tall cabinets, three overhead cabinets, several cubbies and a set of drawers.

| There isn't a whole lot of extra floor area, I may put a laundry basket under here also |

Today is orientation day on campus. This morning I filled out forms for classes, an alien residency card and a bank account. It has been quite busy, but soon I should have time to write about what I've been doing the past couple of days. I'm off to take a tour of campus, pictures will follow!
Are those pine trees? This looks so much like Iowa! Except it's South Korea! Whoa!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Yea, kinda like Iowa except the hills and dorm rooms that look like they have been painted recently and taken care of generally, unlike Friley.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does this look nicer than Friley? Or, would anything look nicer than Friley? Thanks for the pictures. It is nice to see the digs you are in. We got more snow here - and we had no boys to help clear it:( Your Mom would write her own message but she has not been able to set up as a friend yet. She says she'll work on it tomorrow. She had to mine a mountain of laundry today.
ReplyDeleteFriley had character, I won't hear anything against it! The fact that this place isn't a Cold War relic gives it a bit of an unfair leg up. The pines shouldn't surprise you, the climate is about the same as back home. It is quite hilly here, as you'll see when I put up the campus tour.
