Despite the incident at the rez, it was a wonderful experience. You'll definitely meet lots of awesome students there. I loved the fact that it was a big rez because it meant that I would get the chance to get to know more people from there.

What do you mean by "wings"? I lived in Brandon last year and the layout was in a way that you met most of the people on your floor. I actually like the layout more than let's say.... Hedden (I lived there in my first year), which has two different wings since you get to meet more people who live with you on the floor.  |

Brandon's got the most interesting layout of any residence, in my opinion. Many a time I got lost or turned around (granted, you'll have to excuse me, I wasn't at my best!).
I actually think I have a picture of the floorplan on my camera, pretty sure I took a picture during tours. I'll post it a bit later.

Haha, awesome song. It's funny because I was actually JUST listening to it. But yeah, Brandon Hall was definitely good times. The halls were a little confusing at first but you get used to them.

I speak on behalf of the 2007-2008 9th floor Brandon when I say that this floor has a legacy that you must uphold.

There may be a couple random rooms with washroom. It's the same in Edwards, there were like 2 random rooms with washrooms.
