Being cold barely describes it. Think of it as the exact opposite of hell. It was clean, though. Other than a cold room, I had no problems with their orientation.

Default cold is ok

cold is ok, I can deal with cold, It's dirty I can not deal with. I am on Amtrak now on my way to orientation. I had to leave early because train only goes 3 times a week. Will get into Indy 0430am, Sat. The next train doesn't get in until Mon am, I thought that was a little close. Everyone stay safe out there. Thanks for all the return msgs.

Default Dorm room

The dorm rooms are not luxurious but durable. There are 2 twin beds and two 'desks'. Tile floors. They clean the rooms every day if you want. I did spend a week in one in late June due to a bout of pneumonia. I could have clean sheets and towels every day, I just asked. They also offered me an antibacteria spray. The toilets and showers are in the middle of the East side hall (opposite side of laundry room). There are showers and restrooms on both floors. You are taking blankets and/or sleeping bags to use in your truck, I suppose? They would help to keep you warm if the rooms are cold. They were not overly warm when I was locked in my room there for over a week in the summer. The clinic is on the first floor in the dorm building. You do not have to go outside to get to the orientation room or to the cafeteria. There is a shuttle van that will take you shopping asd such (ask at the window for more info). Good luck
