Clock Tower keeps up with the times

“The lounge is a nice place to just chill out or even get some work done since it has wireless access. Plus the giant TV is a pretty sweet deal. The RAs treat us all with the respect that we older students have earned. I think alumni would be pleased to know that Clock’s keeping up with the times. It’s definitely a dorm that allows you to take advantage of its little perks. Senior Josh Youngblood, Hilliard, Ohio “Most Cornell students are pretty busy. Luckily, living in a suite with my friends gives me the opportunity to see them more often. We all come back to the same place after a long day, and so it’s much easier to stay connected. “Having a living room gives you a place to work or hang out with your friends. Unlike common areas, you feel comfortable having an intimate conversation with friends. A lot of people use the common room for events and for all-building socials. It’s nice for seniors to have their own space. It’s a transition to living on your own.” Senior Julia Kamenetzky, Bettendorf, Iowa “One of the most interesting and unique aspects of living in Clock Tower is the flexibility that it offers. It gives students an opportunity to live with multiple roommates, but you still have a place that you can go to be alone. It’s nice to have the common room also. This is probably my favorite place in my suite because I have gotten so much closer to all of my roommates through all of the late night talks we seem to have while someone is supposed to be doing school work. "Other things that Clock Tower offers that make it unique from other buildings: nice kitchens/study rooms on every floor, the wireless access in our lounge, and your own bathroom area! I also like living in Clock Tower because you get to have the ‘suite-style’ living which allows for more independence, yet you are still on campus and ‘in-the-loop.’" Senior Jessica Allison, Ottumwa, Iowa
