I read your article comparing GSH and Bean, and I believe you didn’t represent Bean adequately. As a sophomore living in the residence halls for a second year I chose to live in Bean versus GSH, even though returning students are given placement priority. I feel as though you completely skipped some of the best parts about living in Bean.

Bean isn’t some cramped closet that no one likes; it’s a home to about 600 incredibly diverse and unique people. Although none of us have our own bathrooms or TV’s in our lounges, we have an amazingly tight-knit and close community that the GSH lacks. Living in the residence halls shouldn’t be about how many square feet you have, but about your community and overall experience.

Respectfully,
