Well, I have to say, we are glad to have ...Susan,<br /> Well, I have to say, we are glad to have you in Kenilworth, even if the cell reception is bad. Now I have a question? Does your room happen to be on a lower level and/or within one of the "window wells?" If so, that is why the reception is bad. Kenilworth was build in the very early 1900's and started out as a Model T Ford Factory. It has SOLID concrete walls. It doesn't matter what they do, the reception is bad. The higher up you go it appears to be better (also having an outside facing room helps too). I'm the CA on the 6th floor, and don't have that many troubles. You can always go sit in the lounge on your floor, or the second floor lounge if it helps out.<br /><br /> I'm hope that move in wasn't too rough. We have the same carts (which do help some) as all the other buildings but unfortunately they are small. The reason why it appears (from reading) that they are smaller is that during normal move in within the other residents halls the Resident Assistants go around with giant rolls of cling wrap, and wrap all the items onto the cart. Therefore they can pack more on because it will stay. The unfortunate part about Kenilworth is there are only 5 CAs, so we do not have the man power to do that. I'm sorry it took you 9 trips!<br /><br />I am happy that you found a good chinese restaurant (and had enough room to store it in your "apartment sized" fridge), but if your looking for more places to eat, talk to a CA (we have some suggestions) or even better, come the the Tour of Milwaukee on Monday. We are going to SHOW you some (and give you their addresses). It's going to be great fun. I'm glad your first day at UWM went well, and that you found everything okay. If you have any questions, feel free to talk to any CA. If we don't know an answer, we will be happy to find one (or give you the name of the person to contact).<br /><br />Again, Welcome to Kenilworth and I (well, all of us) look forward to meeting you and a great year.<br /><br />AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397706504941442999noreply@blogger.com
