As a part of the campus’s renovation plans, all of Reynolds moved into the modular units over the February extended weekend to little fanfare. Both Greynolds halls and half of 1d1c2c moved into modular one, and Reynolds 1e2e2d and the other half of 1d1c2c moved into modular two. While this move was warranted with the plethora of issues the building was facing, many Reynold’s students advocated for the move not to happen, due to it being so late in the year. Regardless, on March 2nd all were moved into the modular units, where Reynolds will likely stay until Spring 2026. Here are some of their thoughts about mod life and the move:
“I like the bigger room, but otherwise, Reynolds was much better. If I wanted to hike to class through the rain every day, I would’ve lived on Royall, and I went from a hall size of 10 people to a size of 45- a HUGE change for the middle of the school year. The walls are paper thin, and everything feels temporary- because it’s meant to be.” – Anonymous
“It was generally alright, just wish we had more of an opportunity to see rooms and that jazz prior to the move.” – Anonymous
“The facilities are nice, but we still haven’t gotten soap dispensers (we’re having an intense soap shortage and have learned the art of violently pressing the bare soap box skeletons with our palms and rubbing them together for a slim hope of making bubbles) and it’s too far away from classes. However, there’s a dual-edge sword to its far location; at the end of the day it feels satisfying after a long walk to finally settle down in your dorm room. It feels like a sense of coming home, though in a weird, temporary way. “ – Lily Galapon
The class of 2027 can also expect to live on the modular units, which might shift campus perception on them as they move in at the start of their NCSSM careers. In the meanwhile, all current Reynolds people are preparing to move out for the second time, with the seniors saying goodbye to campus forever.
