If you're a Lehigh student who has lived in Brodhead, you know all about the struggles. Here are the 8 worst things about living in Brodhead.
1. "Oh...where's that?"
Since all other housing is literally at the top of the hill, Brodhead is often forgotten. Nobody seems to know where it is or that it even exists, honestly. The only perk is not having to walk up the hill at the end of the day.
2. Weekend hikes to Rathbone
Since Lehigh is like the only college campus that keeps one single dining hall open on the weekends, it is a 0.9-mile hike uphill to Rathbone. 2,000+ FitBit steps in case anybody was wondering - so have a cupcake on your way out. You deserve it.
3. The elevator is slow as hell...
If you're lazy like me, you know the struggle of waiting for the damn elevator to stop on every single floor before it finally gets down to you.
4. ...and it smells like pee
Enough said.
5. The "gym" is like 2 broken treadmills
Honestly, it shouldn't even be listed on amenities — you get enough exercise from your hikes to and from class anyway.
6. There's always that one room on your floor that plays sh*t music on full blast
You know exactly the horrible remixes I'm talking about.
7. The dining hall is disappointing 100% of the time
It's basically just an empty salad bar and 2 trays of food that nobody really wants.
8. There is a weird, distinctive smell in every stairwell and on every floor.
Mmmm, the sweet smell of the 4th floor.
