Five-Name is the large L-shaped building rounding the northeast corner of West and Knox streets. It contains five suites. Campbell and Elder are the two suites of the north wing, and Neifert and Sherwin are on the east wing. Furrow, a.k.a. the Armpit, is in the bend, and houses primarily upperclassmen. The basements also have a few rooms, which are usually given to upperclassmen as well, although many believe them to be the worst housing on campus. This reputation is based largely on Five-Name's extreme excess of fire alarms, and though it may seem unthinkable to have as many as 6 fire alarms in a single day, that is daily life in Five-Name. Each wing essentially has a double suite on each floor, with a shared hallway separated by a door that is usually open, and bathrooms at either end. The building is co-ed. There is a combination kitchen/laundry room in Neifert Basement, along with the Roger Taylor Lounge. The Student Health Center sits on the outside corner of the building. Five-Name suites are numbered by floor, starting in the basement (Neifert or Elder 1, although usually they are referred to as Neifert or Elder Basement, with the actual first floor being numbered 2, and so forth). Five-Name is far away from everything but has the most rigorous fire drills at the oddest hours of the morning.
