Here's a thought. I stayed at what the conference called the Senate dorms, yet I see nothing on campus that indicates that it was called that. Yes, the term "Senate Dorms" does appear at the bus stop, and there is a Senate House nearby, but the dorms themselves aren't labeled as such, nor is that name on any of the direction signs or maps as far as I could tell. This hasn't caused much real trouble but it did prove to be somewhat confusing.
