Many legendary stories and traditions have been passed down through out the approximate half-century of the all-boys dorm. Some of these traditions still haunt the current female inhabitants.
“It smells permanently like pee and popcorn,” said freshman university studies major Allison Holland.
She also added that she has seen profane words carved in the elevators, desktops, inside of closets and throughout the stairways.
Though some minor concerns are apparent throughout Pritchard, overall there have been positive opinions of its new female inhabitants and the residential life faculty members within the dorm.
“When I first found out I was kind of upset that I was going to be living there,” said freshman English major Michelle Spulga. “My sister went here and was completely making fun of me,” said. “But once I moved in they cleaned it up and added all new furniture, it’s just like any other dorm.”
Pritchard was renovated prior to the fall semester to include newly finished bathrooms, more furniture, new doors, new paint jobs and a redecorated game room. The additions added more flair to the seemingly dull windy and twisted hallways of the 201,161-square-foot dorm.
