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).
The second of the building bares a striking resemblance to the first floor. Here one also has access to the main lobby. A doorway at the top of the stairs of the second floor lobby lead one north into the board of trustee’s chambers. Here there are offices, a meeting room, and a lounge. Centrally located within the building this demonstrates that while the trustees are absent from day to day operations at the university they still have central governance. This is important for the president whom must walk past these offices daily. He or she knows that

The college made its rules in order to give its students a better education where they can achieve their goals. However, Alisha, the orthodox Jaw student, made unfair arguments where he blamed the college in way that they intended to discriminate him and his friends (Hack 2). He misunderstood that the college is more concerned about its student’s than he thought. College does not want to make the students to feel isolated and disrespected, but rather they want their students to be combatable in their spaces. I understand that college cannot satisfy every single student, but they are always ready to accommodate with the students who particular have some concerns about the residence or education. According to Richard, the dean of Yale College, mentioned in his article, Dormitory Life Is Essential to a Yale Education, that it is one of the Yale’s core values to keep their students in the dormitory for first two years in order to let students to have intercultural conversation regarding their distinct beliefs (Brodhead 1).

The Whitlock building offers services such as admissions, financial aid assistance, career and regular counseling, and many more!

Since out of state students are bringing so much of their stuff here because they are not going to be able to go home all the time. Walsh should two out of state students together in a room. Having an out of state student in a triple is just not logical. But, if they out two out of state students in a room together it would make more sense. The reason being that they are both bringing so much of their belongings here to campus and they are not going to be able to go home on a random weekend to take clothes they do not need anymore back home. Since they have everything they need up until Christmas both out of state students will have enough room in a double rather than being put into a triple. Rachel Gainer a freshman here at Walsh lives in a triple and one of her roommates is an out of state student. When asked about her living situation she said, "Living in a triple is not that bad, the only thing that is challenging is all of Hope 's, her third roommate, items. She is from Connecticut, so she brought a lot with her. She has one whole closet space and most the space about the closet because she has so much. Most she does not even use anymore. She just can not go home until Thanksgiving" (Gainer). The problem is not only just triples all together but it is the fact that out of state students are not put into doubles. To fix this problem at hand, housing should look at who is an out of state student and put them into a double
