Published in the January 19, 2011 issue
When my intended roommates and I got a low number for room draw, we joined forces with others and drew a 10-person, two-level suite in 1939 Hall – 131 1939, to be exact. While Wilson College would not have been a top choice for any of us, it turned out to be a great year...
