Students familiar with the Ma-teo
Sanchez, S.J., room in the Ignatius
Loyola Hall will remember its tacky
couches and capacity to hold no
more than 50 people. Now, there are
five beds, five girls, and their belong-ings
packed into one room.
Relocated beach resident Kait-lyn
Lewandowski '13 now resides in
that same room, one of many places
on the Fairfield University campus
that have been converted in order to
host displaced Beach area residents
who had lost their homes in Hurri-cane
Sandy just last week.
The east coast continues to clean
up after the hurricane had destroyed
houses, uprooted trees and flooded
many streets that left residents dis-couraged
in the aftermath.
A large number of the 350 dis-placed
Beach residents chose to re-turn
to campus rather than commute.
Lounges in halls like 70 McCormick
Rd., Gonzaga, Jogues and Campion
are' now converted to host students.
Some seniors are staying with friends
on campus or rooming with under-classmen
in doubles.
Director ofthe Office ofResiden-tial
Life Ophelie Rowe-Allen, said the
housing process has been "hectic,"
but they are doing the best they can to
meet students' needs: "If they need a
place on campus, we try to find it for
them." She said she does not place
students based on how long it might
take for their beach houses to be ren-ovated.
Staffmembers "have been work-ing
24 hours to get everything fixed.
They've worked from the beginning of
the storm until to now... going home
late, working very late," said Rowe-
Allen.
So far, students are aware of the
University's efforts. Lewandowski
said, "It's definitely a switch going
from sharing a house with five girls
to sharing a room with five girls. But
we're happy just to have a place to
stay."
Senior Andrew Bromstedt,
whose house didn't flood but needs
renovations to its heating system,
had originally planned to move into
a townhouse, but it ended up hav-ing
too many people, so the Office of
Residential Life moved him into Gon-zaga
Hall.
Bromstedt said of Res Life:
"They're doing the best they can. You
can't be too mad; it's not like it's their

fault that the hurricane came."
Senior Kimberly Combs, who
lives with five other girls in the con-verted
third floor lounge in Campion
Hall, shared Bromstedt's sentiments
towards the University: "The school
has been very accommodating,
they've done everything they can. I
mean, it's no one's fault." She noted
that she and her roommates chose to

move off-campus, so the University
didn't have to accommodate the resi-dents,
but still did so.
That is not to say they don't have
their share of complaints. Students
are still getting used to relocating from
life near the waters to life on campus.
They must adjust to the smaller living
area, for one, as Lewandowski said.
"Just sharing a room with five
people is very different from having
my own room. You can't really have
people over with five roommates,"
said Lewandowski.
"The school doesn't have
enough room for everyone, we can't
live like this - six seniors in a room,"
said Catherine LaGreca '13, who
