Married couples settle into life in on-campus dorm rooms in the Village

By Anne Dawson | Intrigue Writer | February 27

Some couples have found homes in Auburn, but not in houses. They’ve chosen to settle down alongside students in the residence halls. Kimberly Dixon, graduate area coordinator for Village South, lives in Willow Hall in the Village with her husband, Brandon Dixon, and their 11-month-old son Luke Dixon. Kimberly and her family have lived in Willow Hall since August 2014. “The Village is the best place for our little family,” Kimberly said. Kimberly said friends and family wondered how she and her husband would make the space work with an infant. “Everyone thought we were nuts,” Kimberly said. According to Kimberly, chapter rooms on first floor of the residence hall surround her family, which is quieter than being next to residents. Their room in the Village has a dishwasher and is close to the laundry room, which Kimberly said is convenient. Kimberly said her family also enjoys the convenience of having their own parking spaces—when no one is in them. The best part of living in the dorms, according to Kimberly, is she works with the resident assistants and is involved in the growth of the community.
