For about one month, Honors South student residents have been experiencing difficulties in dorm life as a result of one of the hall’s elevators being broken. Honors South Residence Hall is supposed to be equipped with two working elevators. Now, with only one available, many of what were once simple aspects of resident life have become some of the most tedious, such as doing laundry.
