...so there were 2 groups of students - those who started at U of R as freshman and lived on the River Campus, and those who transferred in from other schools as juniors, and lived in Helen Wood Hall across the street from Strong Memorial Hospital.
I was one of the latter, having made the very unwise decision to go to the same college as my high school boyfriend, who turned out to be a possessive and controlling jerk once we were away from home. We were both bio majors and had almost all our classes together, and once I realized I needed to ditch him it was also clear that I needed to transfer schools. It also helped that where I was did not have a nursing program.
Anyway, those of us who were transfers really didn't have much, if anything, to do with the River Campus, which was probably somewhat unfortunate in terms of typical college life. We did most of our socializing with each other and the med students. I did go to the "Nipple Of Knowledge" library a few times.
Helen Wood Hall was quite a charming, old-fashioned building that I really liked living in. When I went back for my 50th in 2023, it was really sad to see that all the charm was gone. The 3 floors that had been single student dorm rooms have all been converted into boringly characterless office cubicles that all look exactly the same. Had I not known I was in Helen Wood Hall, I wouldn't have had a clue where I was.
