I’m not sure how much you know about the residence halls here, so I don’t know if what I’m telling you is already something that you know, but just in case.

Stephenson East is part of the Stephenson Complex (North, South, East). When you come here for Alive, that’s where you stay. All three are exactly the same inside, just different communities depending on your RA and floor mates. Because it is mostly freshmen, I’ve heard it can get pretty loud, but there’s a great place to study in the basement called the Down Under. There are math and chem tutors there almost every night because of the STEM program. It’s not far from the classrooms, at least I don’t think so. I would suggest leaving 10 minutes before your class starts to get to whatever class you have on time. East is at the southside of campus and the rec is at the northside so I would say maybe a 15 to 20 minute walk. It seems far, but it’s really not. I pretty much walk that way every day. Once you get used to it, it’s nothing. You’ll have a lot of fun.
