Along with these improvements to the dorm, all of the posters have been taken down. Hence, it has sparked conversations about the balance between a clean environment and preserving features of the dorm. “I’m really glad they had the opportunity to do it. I think the dorm was simply due for a new coat of paint.”Said Teacher Ken, the dorm head of E3. He also explains the reason behind, “Last year, during the dorm tours, people commented on how nice the paint in the West End looked. I think the school was trying to bring everything up to the same standard. So I’m pretty sure it was regular.” Beyond the visual improvements, Teacher Ken also believes in the positive influence on students, “When the hall looks nice, people are more motivated to keep it nice. The overall appearance is sleeker, which I think works better thematically.”However, some students feel that the removal of posters and decorations has made E3 lose parts of its features. One returning student, Toni Osinubi, remembered the dorm as “a lively place that felt full and lived-in where people made the space their own with posters and decorations.” Comparing it to its current appearance, he explained that “with the bright white walls and changed lighting, the dorm doesn’t feel the same. It feels more sterile and less lived-in, although it is definitely cleaner.”This concern is also shared by newer residents. “E2 has posters like Star Wars, and it looks really cool. E3 is kind of boring and bland, and I think we need to bring the decorations back because they give the dorm more personality and create a stronger community,” said first-year boarder Owen McCuin, who also felt that E3 lacked the personality found in other dorms. “I think we need to bring the decorations back because they give the dorm more personality and create a strong community vibe.”Ultimately, E3’s renovation represents more than just a physical change, but it raises a broader question about what makes a dormitory feel like home. There is no doubt that a clean and organized environment is important, but so is the sense of belonging that comes from making a space one’s own. As students continue to settle into E3, adding student-led decorations seems to be a potential way to help bring back some of the character that residents feel has been missing, white maintaining the look of the newly renovated dorm. </div></body>
