13 Reasons Why Ohio University Art Students Love Seigfred Hall

Homes of an art student: home, dorm, Seigfred Hall

13 Reasons Why Ohio University Art Students Love Seigfred Hall
wiki

Just about every art major at Ohio University can call Seigfred their other home.

1. Homework

If you are unable to study or do homework in your dorm room, like me, Seigfred's art studios are the perfect places to get work done. They offer very little distractions and if your homework is art related, you have the tools around you to get it done.

2. Glidden Hall

The music hall is next to the art hall, which definitely has its perks. With taking the elevator to avoid Jeff Hill or being able to hear music from outside the building, this added bonus is worthwhile.

3. Apples on the front desk

This is pretty self-explanatory, the office workers are so sweet.

4, Graffiti mystery floor

If you take the staircase labeled "Fourth Floor Only" all the way down, you might be surprised by what you find. An eerie hallway with graffiti all over is now on your bucket list to see if you have not already.

5. Posters

Students are always making posters for events, clubs, and other fun activities so you are always up to date by simply walking to class.

6. Good drinking fountain

The water fountain by the girl's bathroom on the fifth floor has very refreshing water. Try it before you disagree.

7. Open 24 hours

Us, crazy, nocturnal, art students take Seigfred's 24-hour schedule for granted. However, as one of the only buildings on campus with this policy, I am forever grateful.

8. Mural

Outside of Seigfred, there is a gorgeous mural that is hard to not admire. Even though it may look confusing, you can not deny its beauty.

9. Gallery

One of the first things you see as you walk through the building is an art gallery. The hours are relatively convenient so it is always fun to go in and see what everyone is up to.

10. Vending machines

Being a hungry art student penalizes your work ethic. These vending machines have variety and are accessible.

11. Graffiti wall outside

If you are up for a little walk through the grass, underneath Glidden there is a wide, low-ceiling area with various graffiti and even a few chairs. While only slightly creepy, this is a must-see for any art student.

12. Resources

Seigfred has a multitude of resources. Such as connections to Alumni that can get you possible internships, spaces for installation and or galleries of your own creation, and a library. There is also the Create Space located in Putnam Hall that gives access to things such as rentable film equipment and 3D printers.

13. People

I have never seen such a vast diversity of people until I got to college. Seigfred especially takes all kinds. Rather than seeing the "standard college student", Seigfred gives you access to people that are very different from you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
