Work Begins On New Housing Complexes

Monday, January 17th, 2011

BLAST OFF! (via The Saratogain)

The Sartogain lets us know that on campus blasting work is already well underway for the construction of the College’s new student housing complexes. The $42 million dollar project was approved by the Saratoga Springs City Planning Board at the December 8th meeting and is expected to be fully complete by ‘late 2013.’

The College has made its intentions clear. Rising enrollment (fuk da freshman lol) and the press of overcrowding has pushed students off campus and dropped our previously envious residential-students numbers down to around 80-85%. The College has long touted the importance of a strong and central residential campus community in its literature and with the construction of the new housing complexes the College hopes to raise our residential student numbers ‘upwards of 90%.”

Just a gentle reminder that on-campus room selection begins tomorrow with students selecting Northwoods Apartments.  If you are confused about what time you should show up or how this whole process works the ResLife staff put together this little booklet to help you along, also Ann Marie Przywara has probably emailed you hundreds of times.

The Fire Marshall Cometh

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

A New York State Fire Marshall will be doing inspections on campus early this week. Beginning Monday a large man, most likely with a moustache, will be checking to make sure none of us are in violation of fire codes. If Mr. Marshall does in fact take offence to the firework collection in your closet, or the candle and gasoline sculpture decorating your window seat be prepared to write a check. Inspections include walking through each Northwoods and Scribner apartment, as well as rooms (selected at random) in each of the eight dorms. Inspections begin Monday and will continue throughout the week.

And while I’m not sure how much the Fire Marshall cares about your Bacardi collection you might want to do some hiding—don’t trust anyone over 30 ya know? Smokey the Bear is most likely going to chaperoned by some sort of ResLife quasi-official so you might want to keep the stash in your laundry basket or something like that.

Continue reading after the jump for a straight-from-ResLife-list of things that make little balls of excited spittle form in the corner of a violation hungry Fire Marshall’s mouth.
