Living in Mazzuchelli

I visited a room in Mazzuchelli Hall since I wanted to get a sense of how the rooms looked like. The rooms were converted from offices or nuns' rooms starting this school year, and according to Mazzuchelli resident, Lia Rainey, there are more pros than cons with living in this new wing on the fourth floor.

It's "the best place she's ever lived" in the Residence Halls. The main thing Rainey was excited about was the big closet - which is basically a walk-in closet with a rack and five shelves of storage space. She says she'll use it as a guest room when someone visits. Seeing the closet for myself, I think it's adequate to say that it's a good size for that. She "loves the wall space" and her windows are soundproof when closed. This helps since her room is located near the docking bay and it is always noisy when the truck comes in the morning.

These are just a few positive things about Mazzuchelli. Overall, Rainey, a senior herself, thinks that senior residents should have first selection of the Mazzuchelli rooms since for seniors who want singles, Mazzuchelli is a good option to look at.
