Even though we all write differently, in the end, if the final product is understandable and scholarly then the writing is…
The Rule of St. Augustine Applied to Dorm Living The dorms of St. Norbert College mirror the dynamics and interaction found in a small community. Many bonds are forged in the lower classmen housing and these often times harbor everlasting friendships that stand the test of time. However, this is not always the case.
