Residence hall living in the news

By David Gonnerman '90
July 31, 2007

Student life at St. Olaf received some interesting media exposure recently with a photo in the New York Times and quotes from two incoming students in the Star Tribune.

The Times photo -- taken by and credited to student Sarah Braun '10 -- is part of an online slideshow that accompanies the story, "Behind closed doors," about how residence hall room doors reflect the personalities of the occupants (Braun's photo is actually the icon for the slideshow).

The Star Tribune story that quotes some of our newest Oles looks at how students (and their parents) are using MySpace and Facebook to learn a little more about those unknown first-year roommates.
