I lived in Lister Hall in 2000.. back before they built the new building where the rooms have their own Bathrooms. I would never have lived there for a 2nd year but at the same time if I could do it all over again I would still live there my first year.

The bathrooms get kind of gross, especially on the weekend when the cleaners are off. Its usually too loud to study and the food gets pretty disgusting after a few weeks. But that is all a part of the 1st year experiance, if you are fortunate enough to go to school away from home.

The parties are legendary, and you meet way more people than you normally would if you lived by yourself in an apartment or even shared one with a couple other people. Chances are you will meet at least one really good friend that you could possibly move in with the year after. Plus in Lister hall most of the floors have 2 halls of girls and 1 hall of guys on each floor, how can you not love those ratios?

I had some friends move into HUB in their first year in either bachelors, 2 or 4 bedroom places and all wish they would have come to Lister hall instead, at least for their first year. IMO it was the most memorable part of my first year of university.
