Hughes Hall positively glows with pride at the very mention of their first principal, the charismatic Miss Elizabeth Phillips Hughes, who relished the opportunity to educate her students in a progressive and enlightened environment that included freedom of worship. Despite heading an all female college, Elizabeth was a passionate supporter of co-education. Speaking to the Royal Commission in 1894 she said ‘We shall never get first-rate training until men and women are trained together,’ and expressed a view that the ideal college should have both male and female tutors. A woman clearly before her time – it was not until 1973 that the first male students arrived at Hughes. Her vision was broad and influential. Elizabeth encouraged an international blend of students creating a vibrant and diverse community that has continued to flourish and set the tone for the current culture.

Today the college sets the bar high and will only accept applicants who can demonstrate their academic potential along with evidence to back this up. The hall is a predominantly postgraduate institution, which takes very few undergraduates and none under the age of 21. Undergraduates number around 70, while postgraduates number 430.

A crisp, new red brick accommodation block, the Fenner Building designed by TTC architects, was built on adjoining land to the side of the university cricket ground. This impressive building looks like a grandstand full of hospitality boxes and was completed 2004. The land was sold to Hughes by the university in order to raise money to fund the cricket school. This new structure offers the comforts of an impressive combination room with agreeable armchairs and daily news papers. It also provided a new dining hall which now has an enviable reputation for the quality of its food. Formal Halls are regular with frequent ‘exchange halls’ with other colleges.
Hughes Hall is a close-knit egalitarian community that conducts itself in a lively and civilised manner, with experienced and dedicated tutors who understand the needs of mature students.

Graves hall, which was constructed in 1889, used to be the only building on the campus of Morehouse College during early years of operation. Graves hall used to house all college resources including living resources and classrooms. Today Graves hall is one of many residence halls on campus and is predominantly living quarters, as opposed to the various departments it used to house. Although some things about the hall has changed since 1889, some things remain the same. Graves hall is still producing noteworthy alums and is still a vital part of the institution, the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia. The environment of Graves Hall is not always positive but both positive and negative environments aid in transforming boys into men by ushering a sense of responsibility and respect through stiff rules, policies and peer to peer relations, provides a safe, comfortable living space through various team building activities, heightened security and positive atmospheres, boost resident morale through functional facilities, and hall pride, and stimulates motivation to achieve by imposing high standards upon residents.
The OU Sooner Housing Center (SHC) is comprised of three housing facilities (The Jefferson House, The Jones House, and the Bud Wilkinson House) and a dining hall (The Wagner Dining Hall) which creates a family-like environment solely for residents. The Jefferson House houses all female residents, while the Jones House and Bud Wilkinson (referred to as “the Bud”) houses all males. The Wagner dining hall provides meals services only for students, faculty, and staff living in the three Sooner Housing Center. The first floor of the Bud is the “community center” which provides computers, a television, sitting areas, Ping-Pong and pool tables, a laundry room, and a main office. In the past, the Bud served only as athletic housing, but by 1996, the houses were converted to shared housing for both athlete (49%) and non-athlete (51%) “The change from all athletic housing to shared on-campus housing was originally mandated by the NCAA rules. As a result, the OU Athletics Department decided to take a creative approach and provide quality housing for all students” (Sooner Sports NP).
In The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, there is an emphasizes on how rough it is to be part of the low economic class . Through her words you can create an image about the way poverty affects children. She goes through the book making great remarks on the topic. The different experiences that Esperanza goes through have a lot to connect with her family's financial status. She specifically describes her feelings about the poverty they live in through three of her short stories. The three short stories in which poverty seems to be an obstacle are The House on Mango Street, Our Good Day, and Chanclas. When the book begins the downgrading of Esperanza's esteem begins with it.
During his teens, Roger Williams came to the attention of Sir Edward Coke, a brilliant lawyer and one-time Chief Justice of England, through whose influence he was enrolled at Sutton's Hospital, a part of Charter House, a school in London. He next entered Pembroke College at Cambridge University from which he graduated in 1627. All of the literature currently available at Pembroke to prospective students mentions Roger Williams, his part in the Reformation, and his founding of the Colony of Rhode Island. At Pembroke, he was one of eight granted scholarships based on excellence in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Pembroke College in Providence, once the women's college of Brown University, was named after Pembroke at Cambridge in honor of Roger Williams.

Suddenly, I recognized the building. Just last week, I had visited the exact same campus. My eyes explored the hall in front of me for the second time. It’s Early College High School, I realized. This school is extremely academically orientated, I recalled.

“Reid Residence Hall is a three story, fourteen bay, Georgian Revival brick building with a pedimented Doric entrance portico on the North Elevation” (Harnsberger, 206). Reid Dormitory is situated in the middle of the axial drive originally designed to lead from the former Refectory to a road to the south. It was placed on the southern side of campus, flanked by Grammer Dormitory to the left and a proposed seventh dormitory to the right; this seventh dorm was not built until 1956 (Dreams and Reality: Sweet Briar College and Ralph Adams Cram, Laing, 32). Ralph Adams Cram built this building as well; he clearly intended this building to hold its own against the Refectory, giving it a grand design. This is evident given its dual function as both a dormitory and a dining

However, women desired a higher education. Elizabeth Blackwell is a prime example of women’s fight for a medical degree, one of the first STEM environments available to women. In order to kick-start her education she wrote to all of the doctors that she knew, requesting advice and help. However, most of the doctors replied that they thought it impossible, that a woman would not be able to endure the rigors of a medical education, and that they feared the competition that women doctors would bring. Elizabeth persisted, finally making her way to Philadelphia, a city famous for its study in medicine, to stay with Dr. Elder, one of the few supporters of her education. Once here she continued writing letters and actually found many friends who agreed to support her cause, but unfortunately universities were not included in this list of friends. Elizabeth then pursued an education at the University of Geneva in New York where the Medical Faculty and students agreed to accept her. While at first the university cared about the press coverage that Elizabeth’s spot would bring, she eventually established her rightful place as a student there. Although she encountered some resentment among the wives of doctors and other people living in the small town, Elizabeth ...
