Favorite thing about Xavier: My favorite thing about Xavier is how central to campus it is. I love to look out the windows in the tower lounge spaces and see campus from a bird’s eye view!
Pro tip for living in Xavier: Head next door to the Dining Hall in between loads of laundry! Don’t forget to set a an alarm for a couple minutes before your laundry finishes! That way you can make it back in time to move your clothes quickly, and you get to hear the fun song the machines play when a cycle finishes.
