“The Eller Wing is awesome. This year and last year, the girls on my wing have formed wonderful friendships. It is common for the people on this wing to hang out on the weekends and also study and do homework together. As an RA on this wing, my advice to freshmen is to take advantage of this opportunity if you are pre-business. You will not only have a lot in common with the people on the wing, but share some of the same classes, which is very helpful.”

There’s no easier way to make friends than to have something in common. Our wing is a like a small community on its own. We get together and bowl, play laser tag, basketball and go out for dinner together. Many of us take the same classes and if I have a problem with homework, I just go next door. I also take advantage of the professional that come to our hall and talk to us. My goal is to one day own my own business. Academically I hope to be on the Dean’s List every semester!”

“Often times we are able to study together because we are enrolled in the same classes. I love that if I have a question with my homework, I can go next door for help. We all help each other out. I have loved my residence hall life experience and I have Eller to thank for that!”
