Living in Dogwood has so many perks that it&#8217;s almost impossible to list them all, but I&#8217;ll give some of my highlights. Our rec room in the basement, equipped for ping pong, pool, or movie nights with friends, is rarely empty, always hosting a variety of students each night who wish to destress from a day of classes. For long nights before exams, Dogwood has four study nooks on each floor, where you can cover each whiteboard with class notes. And my personal favorite spot, for both those looking to socialize and those keeping to themselves, is the courtyard. Games between complete strangers sprout up all the time, while people reading (and sometimes napping) can relax in a hammock or swinging bench along the sides.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><!--
