Dorm #4: The Callaway House



Fall of 2013 was the first time students could live in The Callaway House because the renovations were finally done. Callaway is very similar to Towers in the sense that it is an off campus dorm with having “suite” layout rooms. Since Callaway was just built this year, the styles of many of the facilities are modern, eloquent, and appealing. The nickname for this dorm is “Hotel Callaway” because that's what it looks like. The lobby has 24/7 front desk service and security guards. The lobby also has a game room, Movie Theater, and a computer room. Callaway also has a full fitness room with multiple machines to workout with, a rooftop pool, 5 floor parking garage, and multiple study rooms. There are two types of subcultures that I observed in Callaway. The first one is the in-state frat boys and sorority girls who like to party, and the second one is wealthy girls who want to live in an up-scale dorm. Although the second subculture is of girls not in Greek life, they do enjoy partying. You can find people hanging out in Callaway at all hours of the night in either the rooms, Movie Theater, game rooms, or around the pool. Although Towers and Callaway have many similarities, they are their subcultures because Towers is mostly out-of-state students, while Callaway is in-state students.
