On Campus

Case Green (The Quad)

The main quad at Skidmore College. Due to construction in 2006, most of this quad was off limits during most of the day.

Wilmarth

The not-air-conditioned boys dorm. It has a nice lounge and a TV.

Howe-Rounds

The air-conditioned girls dorm. The thermostats are usually all broken so it gets really chilly at night and if you don't have a thick enough blanket, you'll be freezing by morning. Rounds 3 is where some of the boys reside and of course, off-limits to the girls. Sometimes cookie trades are allowed, which is when the door between Howe 3 and Rounds 3 is kept open and boys and girls can talk and trade food and such. Half of Howe 1 is where all the offices are. Due to construction in 2006, Skidmore requested that all students enter Howe-Rounds by the Main Office, which was a hike and a half and really pointless.

Case Center

Location of the registration center, eating place for 2006, as the original eating place was under renovation, and also the location of the coffee shop. That place has awesome smoothies, by the way. And orgasmic hot chocolate.

Jonsson Tower

Where the on-campus security stay. It is restricted to all CTYers and staff, unless under extreme circumstance. The tradition is that at the opening ceremony when the security guard asks if there are any questions a nevermore or nomore will ask "In the event of a flash flood how long would it take to reach the top of Jonsson Tower?"

Note: There has been one nevermore in Session 1 '06 that has sneaked into and ran up Jonsson Tower(will remain unnamed because s/he wants to be an RA and doesn't want it to be known that s/he broke a rule worthy of being kicked out of CTY). This nevermore claims it took about 22 seconds to reach from bottom stairs to top, and the door to the roof was locked.

Off Campus

Laser Tag

Fanatastic laser tag is downtown Saratoga! Except that some of the guns are broken.

Borders

The bookstore where nearly every town trip route stops by for at least a few minutes. It has a cafe and really comfy chairs.

CVS

Stock up on your favorite snacks, candy, and of course, energy drinks!

Congress Park

The park right by downtown Saratoga. It has a carrousel that you can ride for only 50 cents and you get a sticker at the end of the ride. Each year the sticker is a different color and some people like to collect them.
