Ask a Capstone Scholar!

<p>For your question about the Capstone Residence Hall:</p>

<p>There are kitchens on every other floor (or maybe every couple of floors, I’m not sure). You can definitely check the floor plan on the University Housing website, and it will show you which floors have kitchens. Keep in mind, the “kitchen” is basically a sink, a stove, and a countertop. Every floor has a study room, which has a few couches and chairs in them, and some tables for doing work. Most people hang out in the rooms though, unless it’s a big group doing something.</p>

<p>About the Personal Challenge:</p>

<p>I’m going to be honest here - you can literally do ANYTHING for a personal challenge and they will accept it as long as you can explain why it was a challenge for you. Some people choose skydiving because it’s really fun; other people just say that they raised their hand in class. Both are perfectly acceptable. For my 1st semester, I got involved in one of the many clubs on campus; my second semester, I assistant stage-managed a play in the theatre department. In the Capstone Study Shack (where Hot Cookie Friday and some other events are held), they have some former personal challenges written on the walls. Anything goes!</p>
