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.

- 1:26Be the Reason: Miit ShahScholarships help students from all backgrounds access Saint Louis University's Catholic Jesuit education. Hear from SLU public health student Miit Shah on the importance of donor support in increasing access to a transformative education.Mitt says:"Definitely loans that I would might have to take out and especially paying them off after I've completed my degree - that was definitely the biggest issue that I had to worry about, knowing that I have four years undergrad at SLU and then going on to med school after that. The finances would just keep stacking up.So I changed my major to public health to learn the behind-the-scenes of hospitals and the fabric, I guess, underneath the day-to-day of just a patient and doctor interaction. Having the scholarships and financial aid lets me study rather than maybe have a job, which I currently do not have.I'll be taking a gap year. But in that gap year, I'll do some sort of clinical experience, whether that be working as a scribe, technician or whatnot. And then after that or next year, applying for med schools.I keep telling people I want to be hands on, so that generally means a surgeon, but I am not sure about that. But people keep telling me I'd be a great pediatrician.Having the scholarships and finances backing me up allows me to focus on these classes, especially harder classes. Now that I'm a junior, going on to senior year."Learn more about how you can support students like Miit at slu.edu/give.
