Between Satori 2002 and Satori 2003, the dormitory that students stay in moved from Streeter Hall to Louise Anderson (L.A.) Hall, and there is a mix of opinion about that change.

“I prefer last year’s [dormitory] because Morrison and Streeter were like home,” said Jeri Kopet.

Michaela Alden said that “both dorms have their pros and cons.” About her room, she said, “It’s very comfortable. I’m happy I got air conditioning.” No third floor rooms have air conditioning. Kyle Carter, speaking about the air conditioning, said, “It would be fair I had one, but no,” the situation was not fair.

Alden responded to Carter, saying “No, I think all the rooms will be the same.” She is one of the few that not only have their own bathrooms but her own bathtub and shower, as well.

A big part of an overnight stay is the bed. Although the mattresses may be the same throughout the dormitory, campers think differently. Charlie Smith described the mattresses as “rock hard” and “terrible to sleep in.” Smith said that he slept in his closet, and a pillow spotted in the closet appeared to confirm his assertion.

Jeri Kopet, on the other hand, said, “It’s comfortable and it’s better than the beds last year.”

Many people seem to like their dorms. Kopet said, “I have air conditioning and that’s pretty extreme.” Sam Tupper also seemed to like his room. “I think it’s a lot better than other camps’ rooms. It has no bugs,” he said.

Cooper Henderson said, “The dorms are too hot. But they are nicer and more spacious than last year.”
It seems as though many people like their rooms. Three of the people interviewed said that they liked their dorms.
Only one disliked his room, and one other, Henderson, said, “It’s just a dorm.”
