    The Living

    I live in Butler Housing with my girlfriend - labeled by the Housing Department as my �domestic partner.� It�s a two bedroom and is the only on-campus housing that will accommodate our cat, Lola. It feels like a trailer park for graduate students. It�s a long walk from campus but there�s a shuttle service - we�ll see how that goes. There is a community room for parties, a mini-laundry mat, and a computer cluster with 10 or so computers. The kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures are new but the floor is musty basement style linoleum.

      let me tell you something, Ag, the place doesn;t just feel like a trailer park...it looks like one.

      Thanks for the encouraging words. I went from a 1200 s.f. apt on Clark St. in Chicago to this 600 s.f. trailer park in the suburbs - it was a difficult move.
