Being apart of Stu-East 5th floor is the most fun I have ever experienced. I have been to other halls before and sometimes it just doesn't work out. Most of the girls are really friendly and say hey everytime they pass your. There is always one girl who comes out of her room yelling, "Shut the F*ck up." Then you have the opera singers and the girl with the bose system that is really really loud. Its wonderful and there is always something to do or someone to talk to!
