The Mods smell bad... but, they are fun.  

"The Shire is a residence community that offers apartment-style living for sophomores. The Shire units are arranged around courtyards that provide students with medium-sized, outdoor common areas, as well as large lawn areas outside the courts for student gatherings and activities. The Shire Recreational Room is a central gathering space that includes a lounge area, pool table, ping-pong tables, and a community kitchen."
