1. The Agora
Who doesn’t love a dining hall where
you can have chocolate chip banana pancakes at any time of the day, a greasy MYOP
(make your own pizza) station, or a dining hall where you can go alone because
your bound to see that one friend that’s always in the Ag. It’s so good it
received a nickname, “Ag,” and “Agging it” is, indeed, a commonly used verb.
2. Late Night
A favorite event that Granville
residents get to enjoy five times a week. Any munchie imaginable served to you
with an abundance of fries and choice of drink that you can take back to your
room with you! Late night wins MVP for saving us all on those nights where
studying could just not be complete without the company of chicken tenders,
fries, and a large chocolate milk.
3. The gym
Granville practically becomes your free
personal trainer by eliminating the excuses of reasons why being fat is okay: the
gym is 20 steps away at maximum and free! Not to mention there is a TV at every
machine. Just in case that’s not enough motivation to not get that freshman
fifteen, the girls in Granville are Carolina’s finest and unintentionally
motivate you to get to your butt to the gym.
4. Proximity to Franklin Street
Since you just
worked out at Granville’s gym, you have the excuse to eat whatever you want.
When the Ag just isn’t what your in the mood for, have no fear, Chipotle,
Panera, Toppers, Biski’s, Sup Dogs, Spicy Nine and YOPO are all less than a two minute walk away.
5. Proximity to Frat Court
When the walk to frat
parties is less than the walk to class, the choice to live in Granville goes
without saying. We’re practically back door neighbors with some infamous frat
stars. The distance makes walks of shame just a tad less awkward.
6. Strengthening Your Immune System
You learn to do
homework, workout, go to class and most importantly, go to parties when you’re
sick because you practically will be the entire time you reside in Granville.
You’ll be deathly ill with an unrecognized illness by the unhelpful Student
Health Clinic, but that’s okay because so is everyone else on your floor.
7. That one time they gave us free Ben & Jerry’s
8. Last, but not least, “Who doesn’t love riding the elevator with last night’s awkward hook up?”
