Move-In Day, September, 2010
New roommates Gabrielle Faiella ’14 of Marlton, N.J. and Maura Bradley ’14 of Auburn, N.Y. begin the work of setting up their triple in Weldin Hall while waiting for their roommate, Alexis Thoma ’14 of Wallingford, Conn. to arrive.
And how’d the room turn out? Three times more cozy, comfy and bright than when they started! Here, Alexis, Gabrielle and Maura enjoy some down time in their room.

Looks a tad crowded! I remember Weldin being a building of double rooms. Did renovation enlarge the living spaces?

Fortunately for us in the class of 1977, we were probably far more used to sharing rooms than this generation is!
