Kinsolving is typically seen
as a close-knit dorm because of it being all girls and not as large as other
dorms, such as Jester. As I embarked on my research of this dorm, I wanted to
see what, if anything, makes it different from the other dorms on campus. As soon
as you walk into Kinsolving, you immediately see Kin’s Market which is the
dorms inside market place for all types of things ranging from food to clothes.
If you venture to the right, you end up running into the dining hall. Even
though it’s not as big as J2 or JCL, it still holds it’s own. The dining hall
is filled with many people in different large social circles. The dining hall
is filled with chatter, however most of the conversations are limited to school
related subjects such as “what did you get on that test” and “what did you
think about today’s lecture”. Leaving Kin’s dining hall and exploring the rest
of the dorm, I started to realize that Kinsolving was a bit more on the
studious side of the spectrum. Even in the main lounge people could be seen
busy at work even in the middle of the day! As I went on to discover the rest
of the dorm, I realized that there was not very much activity going on. Many
people were either in their dorms or studying in one of the many study lounges.
I wanted to truly see if the dorm was as studious as it seem so I decided to
interview freshman, Jasmine Robertson. This is what she had to say:
“Kinsolving is a nice, friendly, safe environment and there’s help on each floor. It is a place that many people come to study at because it is very quiet. Even though I choose to study in my room, there are plenty of study rooms and lounges to choose from and there’s always someone studying in them.”
