<p>I recently found a double in Graham Hall. What are the benefits of this hall?</p>
<p>Well, there’s several benefits I can think of off the top of my head. Graham is relatively close to the Reitz Union, Gator Dining, O Connel Center, Football stadium, Student rec center, and all the advising offices.</p>
<p>There’s always a Gator in the Graham Pond as well. I don’t know what the dorms look like, but I’d assume they’re decent college dorms and similar to most of the others. The location is great in my opinion.</p>
<p>Graham is probably gonna be a bit of a walk for most of your classes, about 10 minute walk to the main buildings. It’s in a decent location for food though, short walk to gator dining and the reitz union. I think Graham has a pool table in the common room too (though I still used the reitz tables, even though they arn’t free at the reitz). It is not close to the Rec Center (nothing is really) and I don’t know of any advising office near there.</p>

<p>I think he was referring to the racket club gym.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you are a engineering major.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There is a bus the stops right outside the dorm on G-L drive that will go to the Hub, so distance to classes tends to not be a problem. </p>
<p>Other benefits:
-You have the largest parking lot for freshmen close to the dorm, if you want to bring your car.
-Large study space located above the area office
-Graham oasis
-Good or bad: large freshmen population with Graham, Simpson, and Trusler</p>
<p>Graham Oasis is in Graham hall and has a nice convenience store, Boars Head Deli, and Grille Works…I believe this area is open til midnight most nights.</p>
<p>It’s not really close to the fitness center at the racquet club, either. I didn’t understand your comment about an engineering major, but I still don’t know of any advising near there.</p>
<p>I know about the campus buses, but you’re still sacrifing time wait for a bus, rather then having a dorm nearer to the classes so it’s just a couple minute walk.</p>
<p>I definitely agree having the parking area is a huge advantage, I forgot about that. Nearly eveyrone is going to have to park in the graham lot of in hume garage, so it’s very convenient to live there.</p>
<p>before i moved in, i wanted to live in graham. i didn’t, and afterwards throughout the year i never could understand why people would want to live there. location sucks.</p>
