Dipshika Chawla by News@Northeastern - Contributor October 11, 2017 Share Facebook LinkedIn Twitter My first semester has gone really well so far and a main reason for that is my residence hall. I live in Melvin Hall and have met all of my new friends there. I like that it is one of the older residence halls because it is more homey and that adds to the whole first-year experience. What is also great is everyone there comes from different backgrounds and has different opinions, so it is not just about fun and games but also intellectual conversations.”
