Are you looking for an apartment-style dorm that’s close to campus and doesn’t give freshman vibes? Consider Watt!

Juniors and seniors who want their own space, this one’s for you: Watt offers beautiful apartment-style studio singles, studio doubles, and one- or two-bedroom apartments. And all in a prime location!

And they’re all it […]

Update, 12:22 pm: The drought has ended! Water is back on, twenty-three minutes ahead of schedule. If you’ve spotted flocks of robed Columbians bee-lining for McBain, it may not be what you think it is.
