It was one of the better halls on campus - close to one of the student unions (Ida Noyes Hall), quiet, with a grand piano in the student lounge and fairly good rooms.

No, really, Breckinridge is a great dorm--except it's pretty far from the quads, at least in comparison with some other dorms. We feel very honored in having her name on our dorm.

Now I'm the head of the alumni association for Portland.
