Official Holland Int'l Living Center Thread

<p>It looks like everyone is starting a thread on their own living centers. As you can see, I was put in the HILC. And yeah, I want to know anything about the center.</p>

<p>And what does it mean? "Room Reservation: HILC 8241-1"</p>

<p>Ahhh I love HILC!! It was such a vibrant and international community I adored my time there 2 years ago... in fact, I still go back to check out events they have.</p>

<p>Basically, it's a place for people of different nationalities to meet. Majority are still from the states, but my year we had 40% internationals. The result is a smorgasbord of backgrounds. You could be from Ghana and find yourself rooming with a guy who has dual nationalities from the States and Denmark but has spent most of his life in Uganda/Nepal. </p>

<p>Your room means that you are in Unit 2, Suite 4, room 1 (which is a double). I was a Unit 2-er myself; that's the Unit with the whole wall of flags from around the world. </p>

<p>If Windi is still the hall director you will be in for a fun trip this year.</p>

<p>yeah!!! I can't wait to stay in there! it must be real fun! Any chance of knowing who my roommate is gonna be. There were no information on this for me. Just this: HILC 8241-1.</p>

<p>OMG! My roommate is not the one I sent request to. What should I do?</p>

<p>Just received news from Windi that she is leaving for the west coast this summer. The new RHD will have big shoes to fill.</p>

<p>What do you mean? sorry, but I don't understand you at all. Who is Windi? What is RHD? I am a big fool. :p</p>

<p>RHD = Residence Hall Director</p>

<p>Windi Sasaki is the hall director. The kids are great, but she's the boss :)</p>

<p>I concur with the previous comments about HILC! HILC is a wonderful dorm to stay in. My favorite part about my stay there were Ice Cream Nights and the HILC Night (where you had foods from all of these different countries!). It was absolutely wonderful. </p>

<p>Oh yeah, Leigh, you're a good singer ;-). Haha.</p>

<p>Wow, do you guys happen to know each other?</p>

<p>Haha wait Eric, I'm not the Leigh you think. That's just my screen name. :p</p>

<p>^ eric, he is trying to avoid LOL :p</p>

<p><em>She</em>, thank you. :) </p>

<p>Eric: I will pass on your kind words to L. Bird. ;)</p>
