“Block 53 - A home for everyone.”  Our residents certainly have found themselves a home here. Everyday you can hear residents from the sixth floor shouting all the way to their friends on the first floor, just to say hi. Nevertheless, block 53 enjoys peace and serenity, as it is one of the more secluded blocks of Hall 11.

Block 53 has certainly lived up to its motto. We know each and every resident of our block, fostering a feeling of camaraderie and belonging. Our attendance at every hall event also enables us to mingle well with the rest of Hall 11. At this year’s Inter-Block Games, our residents made 53 proud by bagging gold medals in basketball, softball and boggle. Never giving up without a fight, you can be sure that next year we’ll be aiming for the coveted Block of the Year award! This fighting spirit is true to the Griffin, an emblem of courage and determination, aptly used to represent Block 53. 

Academic Year 09/10 will be a year to look forward to for every Block 53 resident − new faces, new challenges and new experiences. The true spirit of the 53 Griffin will never die!
