moving out of Munger / CroMem

Everyone moved out from Munger.

Before Munger, we were all residents of CroMem or Crothers. Because Stanford wants to renovate CroMem and Crothers and use them as undergrad dorms, we were offered to move to the newly built residence -- Munger. It was pretty nice. Building is all new and quite fancy. Also we only had to pay CroMem rate, which is pretty sweet. Although since there was still construction going on, the noise could be pretty annoying..
The point of having most of us move to the same place was hoping the community can stay together. Before living in CroMem, I've lived at several different residences on campus (Lyman for two years, two different places in EV in the same year). CroMem was definitely a very social place on campus. The CAs did a good job organizing events, and there was also regular study breaks (with food!) every week.
Probably because of the dorm setting, where people share the bathroom and the kitchen, in CroMem I had much more interactions with my neighbors than anywhere else on campus.

Munger was a totally different environment. I heard the people who built it want most social activities to happen within each apartment. But because the CroMem (and Crothers) community moved together, all the CAs still did a great job organizing events and keeping people connected.

But I guess everything has an end at some point.
Stanford is using Munger for the Senior Olympic this summer, so all of us had to move out. After this, many of us graduated, moved to other places on/off campus, etc.

It was a great time living in CroMem / Munger. The last (almost) two years on campus was wonderful. :)
