I lived in one of the Towers they blew up and had 8:00 a.m. Philosophy in the Meat Lab, of all places. That was a hike.
One advantage of old RCA is close to the stadium/Hilton. Towers was close to nothing, except the baseball field (and they no longer have a team) and when they had cows out that way to milk for work study. I guess the ice arena is out that way, if you do intramural curling or something.
I know this thread is about Welch, but what is Roberts like? I'm an incoming freshman, and that's my assignment.
It is probably a 15 minute walk at a strolls pace from Welch... I know of several engineers who stayed in MLW and the Welch area for 4 years.
Where in Roberts? I can tell you the retention rate of the floor you are on and the kind of people that live on each.
