With the success of “The Smell of 1693,” we are pleased to announce a second initiative: “The Thirst of 1693.” By using $500,000 of student tuition money, we were able to fucking detonate a major water supply. Through this incredibly innovative method, we were able to provide the DuPont, Randolph, and Botetourt residents with a eye-opening experience of 1693, where running water was not commonplace.
If students respond positively to this experience, we will consider switching running water in dorms over to a subscription-based service (as well as including it in the full access meal plan, which we will then raise by $500). This would allow us to reward those who appreciate what they have, and decide opt out of running water next year.
We would love to hear from students! Let us know you have reflected upon having running water! [email protected].
