Site Description
Washington College was allowed to use George Washington's name by Washington himself, but it was formerly known as College at Chester. It was founded by William Smith. The college was officially founded in 1782, just six years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.
In regards to traditions, the Chestertown site has a small "introductory" canon: Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and American Pie (with callbacks limited to "die! die! die! die! live! live! live! live!").
Hodson Hall Commons
Contains the dining hall and the Egg, where dances and some activities are held.
Library Square
Handoff location. Situated farther down the road from Hodson, and between the library and West Hall.
Washington Avenue
Also MD 213, a two-lane road that seperates Reid, Queen Anne, Caroline and Minta Martin from the rest of campus. Students cross it many times per day. The red hand and white walking man are given names, but they change by year and session. In 14.2 and 15.2, lead by students Berklee and Zared Cohen, students waiting to cross would shout, "Honk your horn!" while doing a pulling motion with their fists. They would then cheer at drivers who honked. Most of the time, they are blantantly ignored and on one occasion in 15.2, they were flipped off.
Dorms
In Washington College, they have Four Zones of dorms. I think they may only use Zone One becuase the houses only fit a certain amount of people and are reserved for other things. All of these dorms are equipped with A/C and heat. As a 2-year at Chestertown, can confirm this is true. Queen Anne and Caroline were used 14.2, and Reid and Caroline were used 15.2.
Caroline House
3-floors, often used as the male dorm.
Queen Anne's Hall
Switches with Reid on the second male dorm.
Reid Hall
Switches with Queen Anne as the secondary male dorm.
Minta Martin
Female dorm, and administrative offices are located in the basement.
