Everyone is so friendly in Pearson
hall. The building is really close to
Champlin and Prentice which is
really nice. The RAs and RDs are
also pretty awesome and
personable! I feel at home in the
quad and I met most of my
friends right in Pearson. Plus, the
rooms in the quad buildings are
the perfect size!

I enjoy living on campus because it
is very convenient. It’s a great way
to meet new people and be close to
important resources. I think the
quad is probably the best location.
It is close to the dining halls and
academic buildings. Cobleskill and
living on campus has made my
transfer experience very easy.
Everyone was so welcoming! P.S the
Wi-Fi is actually really good.
the Quad
I like the convenience and location of the residence
halls in the quad. They are close to the parking lots
and the dining halls. It’s also in the middle of
campus which is nice since I have class on both
ends of campus. You don’t ever have to worry
about car troubles since you can always walk to
class. Foods not that bad on campus either.

I live in the quad because of the
convenient location. The buildings
are close to food and close to all
of my classes. Everyone that lives
in the quad is really friendly
including all of the RAs and RDs.

My main reason I like living in the quad
is that I like waking up five minutes
before class starts and still making it
on time. I also work on campus with
athletics and its easy to get to work.
People in the quad are friendly so it’s
easy to get to know people. I also love
the mac and cheese at Twisted
Whiskers… it’s on point!

I love living in the quad because it is
right in the middle of campus. It’s close
to classes and the dining halls. You also
get to know a lot of people not only in
the residence hall you live in but the
others in the quad as well. I’m excited
for next semester to see the new updates
in the quad buildings!
the Quad
I enjoy living in the quad because I don’t have to worry
about transportation to get to class. I used to commute
to college and I would always worry about being late
because of snow or traffic. I can wake up ten minutes
before class if I’d like and still make it on time. I also
really enjoy the fact that I can take a nap in my own
room whenever I have time in between classes. The quad
is right in the middle of campus so it’s really convenient.

I enjoy living in the quad because of the
community that develops among the students
and faculty. Friendships are easily made, and
people are willing to lend a hand if you ask. You
get to meet people from many different
backgrounds, and that is a good way to
expand your world view. The quad is a great
place for students who have classes on both
sides of campus, because it's right in the
middle, and close to both dining halls and
Brickyard Brew House.
