Hey
all. This week I will be posting everyday about a different residence
hall that you could be placed in. I'll write about Riverview on
Wednesday, Sandburg on Thursday, and Purin and Kenilworth on
Friday. Enjoy!
Cambridge Commons
Cambridge Commons
is the newest addition to University Housing’s Residence Halls. The first batch
of residents lived in Cambridge in the 2010-2011 school year. Cambridge holds
around 700 people in suite-style rooms.
Cambridge has an
in-building cafeteria where residents can use their meal plans. The Grind (the
on-campus coffee shop) has its south campus location in Cambridge Commons as does a branch of the UWM bookstore.
The layout of the
suites is very similar to that of Riverview. Every suite includes its own
bathroom. Cambridge is unique because each suite contains a full-sized
refrigerator. Each room includes a large
walk-through closet to get into the room. All of the windows are extremely
large and have a great view of the river, the courtyard, or the city.
On every floor is
a fully functional kitchen. There are several large countertops, stove,
refrigerator, and a microwave. The kitchen is located in the lounge which has
comfortable seating and a flatscreen television. It is the perfect location to
study, hang out with friends, and cook a meal.
On the first
floor of Cambridge Commons are two classrooms, a small computer lab, some study
rooms, laundry, and a workout room. LLC (Learning Living Community – see Zachery’s blog post) classes take place in the classrooms, as well as occasional
exercise classes.
Cambridge also
has a large courtyard for various outdoor activities. RAs (Resident Assistants)
have hosted programs such as flag football, ultimate Frisbee, and luaus.
