02:31 - What Else Should You Know?VIDEO TRANSCRIPTWelcome to Marguerite Hall.Home to more than 270 first- and second-year students, Marguerite was the first residence hall at Saint Louis University for women and the first to go co-ed. Now it’s home to Micah: Living the Mission, a learning community focused on service, academics, leadership and faith.Marguerite Hall has eight floors; seven are residential, offering suite-style rooms. On the first floor, students like to hang out in “The Mug,” a meeting room near the main entrance. The lobby area offers vending machines, a printer, television and games, along with a 24-hour security desk.There are lots of spaces to foster community in Marguerite Hall, including lounges and kitchens on most floors, a chapel on the main level and a music room equipped with a piano.All rooms in Marguerite Hall have the same floor plan that can be for single or double occupancy. Let’s take a look.Each room has its own entrance, but two rooms share a bathroom with a toilet and combined tub/shower between them.Our example room is set for double occupancy. When you arrive on move-in day, you’ll find two extra-long twin beds with memory foam mattresses, two four-drawer desks, two chairs, and two large wardrobes for clothes and storage in each room.So what can you do with the space?All rooms in Marguerite Hall have a small vanity with a sink outside the shared bathroom, so remember that those are fixed in place when thinking about how you’ll arrange things.In the double, you can bunk the beds for extra floor space - in fact it’s recommended - and the wardrobes are movable, allowing you to place them together along a wall or even in the middle of the room to create zones. Lofting of beds is not permitted in this building.If the beds are not bunked, lifting them allows you to tuck dressers underneath, or you can lift them just partway to have extra under-bed storage. Mini-fridge/microwave units are available for rent through a University partner. You can also opt to bring your own or use the community kitchens.Large windows along one wall offer attractive views of campus. You don’t have to worry about bringing blinds - those come with the room - but you won’t want to forget lighting, a rug and some wall decor to make the space feel like home.Individual dimensions of rooms may vary so check the floorplans at slu.edu for general measurements.What else should you know?+ Marguerite Hall has central air conditioning and heating.
+ Free on-site laundry facilities are located in the basement.
+ Surface parking is available nearby, or park in the Laclede Parking Garage. Bike racks are available outside of the building.
+ Marguerite Hall is open during Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Break.We can’t wait to welcome you to Marguerite Hall. Still have questions? Learn more at slu.edu/housing.

- 1:11Be the reason: Prosperity MeadeEvery scholarship dollar counts for Saint Louis University students like Prosperity Meade. Hear from this nursing major about how donor support is helping her prepare for her future vocation.Prosperity says:"When I first came to college, I was also paying part of my tuition myself from my summer jobs. And that was getting quite stressful.Being able to receive so much financial help has helped me be able to be back on campus and put more time into things like studying and also just being a student. Like hanging out with friends, being at the library — those are all things some may take for granted, but have meant so much to me.I got the chance to shadow the emergency department transitional care unit, which is a step down unit, as well as the neonatal ICU and as well as med surg. So those are all units I've always thought about as a student, even in high school. And just seeing them in action, I realized like, maybe I want a bit more of a fast-paced environment.For nurses, it's very important to understand people's backgrounds as well as empathize with them. And it's easier to empathize when you also have similar backgrounds or share similarities.Thank you for being able to gift money to SLU to help support students like me, as well as other students I've known. So many of my friends are so thankful and every, every dollar counts so much to us."
