Living in O'Hara Village surely has its perks. From being close to Dunkin' Donuts, to getting to live with several of your closest friends, O'Hara Village is literally your (trailer) home away from home. Here are some things all "villagers" know to be true:
1. The morning hustle.
When there are six-eight people living in one house with only two bathrooms, it's always a race in the mornings for who will get there first.
2. Never seeing the other side of campus.
Since O'Hara Village is pretty central to campus, everywhere you need to go isn't a far walk. Besides the occasional class in Duffy or quick stop to the commons, almost never will an O'Hara Villager travel further to the "other side" of campus.
3. The walk to Lot 17.
And then when you do travel to the other side campus, it's usually making the long walk to Lot 17.
4. Hunting for a parking space.
No one wants to take the L of parking in Lot 17 until they've given it their all in trying to find a closer parking space. It usually ends up with a trip to Du Lac and then Boland, until finally accepting defeat and parking in Lot 17 after all.
5. Shields Science Center.
Whether you're a science major running to lab after changing into closed-toe shoes or a studious student, living next to Shields is a life-saver.
6. And of course - Dunkin' Donuts.
Living next to Shields includes - drum roll please - living next to Dunkin' Donuts as well. America runs on Dunkin', and so do Stonehill College students.
7. The grills.
8. Coming home to your Stonehill fam.
