“The community is very close, and there's a strong potential that you'll meet a lot of lifelong friends in Slivka. The people here are your friendly neighborhood discreet-nerds, whether it's peers of yours who are secretly obsessed with Harry Potter or the frat boy that secretly knows Elvish. Whatever your gets your dork flag flying, you'll find some cool people to share it with here.”

Chloe Williams, Gender Studies and Chemistry sophomore

“What is not well known about Slivka is that we are an IM powerhouse. WE are the reigning White league football champions and take competition very seriously.”

Nnenna Nwagbo, Biomedical Engineering freshman

“Slivka is the best dorm you can get into for North Campus as a freshman. We also have a lot of Slivkan pride. There are a lot of engineers, so there will be a lot of talk about DTC and EA and whatnot, but all sorts of people are welcome at Slivka. There are a lot of really cool, chill, and nice people.”

Lily Qian, Biological Sciences freshman

“Amenities rock, there's central air, a large indoor bike room, kitchens on every floor, couches and armchairs all over the place for public use, and large semi-personal bathrooms.”

Chloe Williams, Gender Studies and Chemistry sophomore

“Slivka has an incredibly passionate community. A large fraction of each year's incoming freshmen actually stay for four years. Slivkans are known for being highly involved in dorm life, but also for being involved across campus!”
