00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.022
I was housed the first year in Bagwell Dorm. NC State's admission policy is still to try to give access

2
00:00:13.022 --> 00:00:21.230
to people around the state and they were at that point admitting large numbers of students

3
00:00:21.230 --> 00:00:31.276
with the full expectation they would be gone by Christmas, so I had three people in a two-person room with two closets.

4
00:00:31.276 --> 00:00:43.378
They did move another bed in,but it was pretty miserable. In engineering triangles are very stable structures

5
00:00:43.378 --> 00:00:52.960
but in human relations triangles are not good. We got along okay but it was not one of the best things to do.

6
00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:07.369
Then I lived in Turlington and by that time had found a roommate who was in my field and who remains a friend to this day.

7
00:01:07.369 --> 00:01:17.822
In fact he and I continued on to graduate school here so we were friends as students at NC State for nine years,

8
00:01:17.822 --> 00:01:29.394
so we have deep roots together. Then Bragaw had just been opened, with its boomerang shape and outdoor walkways,

9
00:01:29.394 --> 00:01:42.502
and so I spent the remaining two years there. So I got a good dose of student life and enjoyed living on campus,

10
00:01:42.502 --> 00:01:49.079
and it was not too big a jump from high school here.
