Hill Hall

<p>Any ideas?.......</p>

<p>I'm assuming you mean in terms of living there. The building is located on the back of the hill and requires a small climb down to get to, which can be a bit unpleasant during the winter when things get iced over. It has a fairly big lounge and the mail services office is right there, so you don't have to go far. The regular student fobs (radio entrance keys) let everyone enter the building, but there's a separate door for the dorm inside. There's also a workout room with mats and aerobic equipment, but I don't think it has weights or machines. </p>

<p>The doubles are fairly big, but not huge, and are generally square shaped. The dynamic is pretty good and people get to know each other well, if they want to. Hill is pretty close to most of the uphill classes, but if you're going to have to get downhill to pearson/cohen (large lecture halls) I'd leave early (i.e. give yourself up to 10 minutes, if not more during bad weather). Carmichael, the uphill dining hall is also close to hill, as it hillel (jewish organization). The bathrooms are single sex with large bathrooms for the hall, but I don't know too much about them (I mainly visited hill to see friends).</p>

<p>Healthy living or no?</p>

<p>2 years ago (and I assume it still is), it was split by gender along ends of the hall, healthy living floors 3-5 and regular on 1 & 2. All freshmen. Enormous rooms for freshmen, uphill, relatively close location but with a little climb to campus (it's on the northern face of the hill, down the other side a little). I loved the place, spent a lot of my time there even though I lived across campus. A little far from a dining hall compared to most others.</p>

<p>Pros: Hill has the biggest doubles out of the all-freshmen dorms. The lounge area is nice and spacious. If you get a package in the mail, all you have to do is run downstairs! (sort of). Mail services is unbelievably close, you'll see!</p>

<p>Cons: A little far from Carmichael (the uphill dining hall) and a long walk from the downhill buildings like the music center, campus center, the chemistry building, etc. Also, the bathrooms are a little run down.</p>
