so how inconvinient is the distance really? how long does it take to get to places on campus? say the student centre for example? the MDCL?

Well, it's a few minutes past Hedden, and my friends in Hedden always used to complain about how far everything was...

Commons is probably about a ten minute walk.
The student centre about 15
And MDCL about 20.

loll 15mins to the student centre? looks like i'll be waking up early to get to class! haha thanks

Indeed! Good luck with that!

i lived in LP last year, it is ridiculously far and i wished that i could have lived in somewhere closer like whidden. It is probably like a 5 min walk to get to commons and like a 12 min walk to mdcl, I would reccomend getting a bike. Plus being far away sucks in the winter time and there is no underground connection to commons

Great points Justin. I can imagine how annoying it would be having to walk a long distance to Commons since thats the central hub for eating!

Other than the distance factor, how did you find LP? Did you enjoy your stay?

Did they organized special events at Les Prince last year??Did you guys party-ed a lot??

Les Prince this year has an 80's theme for Welcome Week... looks like FUN!



Remember MC Hammer, Saved by the Bell, or Super Nintendo? As the 'New Kids on the Block', Les Prince will be kickin' it old school - 90's style! We are celebrating the funky and fresh lifestyle of the Les Prince of Bel-Air by transforming the building into a 90's paradise! We're going to party in the wild with our funky green shirts that say 'DJ Ursa keeps it fresh!' to give tribute to Ursa, the bear that spins the coolest tunes from the decade we love. The party starts when you get here!
