It's Not Your Father's Dorms




If you have not had the time to visit ENMU-Roswell's new Sierra Vista Village, please take a second to look at these pictures. When I went to college students lived in "dorms." The word "dorm" comes from the Latin "dormi" which means to sleep----I'm really not sure that is precisely true, but I know that dormir means to sleep in Spanish and French. This new student village is much more than a place to sleep. ENMU-Roswell's new student housing includes pool tables, exercise rooms, computer labs, and audio-video rooms. The rooms have cable and high-speed internet access. The students have inside flush toilets and hot and cold running water. The floors are nicely carpeted and rooms tastefully decorated. When I was in college we felt lucky to have asbestos tile floors and insulation. If you are interested in living in the dorms, or know someone who is, please drop by Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell and find out more. It's economical! It's fashionable! It's a great way to meet new friends and study while you're working on your degree.
