You round the corner, stepping onto a street that is no less dimly lit but somehow more inviting. Rather than barren patches of dirt, there are manicured bushes and trimmed dogwood trees. The streetlamps are a different style, banners hanging from the posts that have a little too much shadow cast on them for you to make out. But mostly, the newfound comfort has to do with the familiar building looming up ahead.
Though it's been a year since you've seen it, Fleishman Hall still falls easily on your eyes. It's a newer building seated at the very western edge of the campus, one of those residence halls that threatens to encroach into the neighborhood around it. This is what you and your friends call a "website building." Carefully photographed from the right angle, it gives the impression that the entire campus is sleek and up-to-date. And so Fleishman Hall is plastered on the university website banner, magazine cover, admissions manual, advertising pamphlet, and billboards up and down the highway.
In spite of the false advertising, the hall is definitely the best place to live on campus. You're lucky your friends were able to hold onto a space for you.
