Carlisle

NOTE: Guys, as one of the largest and oldest CTY sites, we really need at least as much up here as some of the other places do!

Location

• Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Carlisle, Pennsylvania is a pleasant town about 20-30 mins. from Harrisburg. The site is notorious among its regulars for the town's phsycotic drivers. The Campus of Dickinson College is a stately place dating from the 1700s with plenty of open space and trees. Facilities are pretty nice, with air conditioning in all rooms, and the HUB (the central meeting place) contains two stores: The Devil's Den convenience store and a bookshop. Massey's, a great custard stand, is just down the block and some halls go there on rare occasion.

Dorms

• Referred to as Quads 1-10, Super Quad, and Malcolm (really far away)
• Quad Six=Quad Sex
• Quads Four and Five= superquad(boys only)
• Malcom(guys only) is know for its basement("no one can hear you scream in Malcom basement") which often floods and has mice
• KW - Kisner-Woodward Building. (K-Dubbs) The guidance, nurse, and administrative offices are located here, but there are also dorms for CTYers to stay.
• UBER QUAD! Bigger and better than super quad....a girls only dorm, that is very similar to super quad, only with an additioal, lingering, smell that cannot be identified. It contains EDDIE, the janitor with a TV in his glorious janitors office and posters of scanitly clad women on his wall. He tends to walk down the hall way at 7 in the morning, right when everyone is showering.
