One distinguishing characterist;
t of The Roost is that many Roo
i residents are receiving scholai
i ships. Dixon is attending school c
a full scholarship, while Gregory
; the recipient of a three-fourth

I except room and board,
i Dixon explained that the scht
i larships are renewable from year I
> year if the athlete signs a letter (
intent each year,
i A feature unique to the res
dence hall is The Roost's cateteri
which is overseen by dietician
trainers and weight coaches. T1
carefully planned menu has boi
benefits and drawbacks.
Gregory describes a typici
day's fare as consisting of spagl
etti, meat and fish. "We hav
