North Campus: Living the Life

As you may have noticed by looking at the other bloggers pages, we have all taken different parts of St. Mike's campus to show you and personally tell you why we love these areas.  I chose to talk about North Campus.
"North Campus?" you ask. "What is this mystical place that you speak of?"
Only one of the coolest places at St. Mikes!  North Campus is less than a mile up the road (north...I'm sure you never would have guessed that!). We have a shuttle that is always running to take us back and forth from North Campus to Main Campus.  On North, we have three dorm style buildings (double rooms as well as some singles, adding up to about 60 people per building) and four apartment style buildings (four people per apartment, two rooms in each apartment, four apartments in each building). Given all those facts, there are about 300 students who live on this part of campus, all of which are either Sophomores, Juniors, or Seniors.

The shuttle! (I love talking with the drivers, they're so nice!)
 Along with our housing buildings, we have Sloan!  Sloan is a building that has two parts: art and food.  On one half, they have all the art classrooms and students work hanging.  On the other half is a restaurant style dining option that is included in the meal plan.  To go to dinner at Sloan, you simply call on Tuesday (at 2pm sharp!) and make a reservation for you and your friends either that night, Wednesday, or Thursday night.  On your day and time, you show up and are served just like a restaurant! I think the food is a step up from our normal cafeteria, so it's REALLY good!!

And what's great about North is that the CCTA bus (that takes us to Burlington) goes right past all of our buildings so it's easy to jump on!

North is a bit quieter since it is away from everything else, but the rooms are a bit bigger (bonus!) and you form a little community up here.  Everyone is very respectful of each other (typical St. Mikes kids) and it's definitely a fun experience living up here.  Hopefully you have the chance to explore North when you come!
