hoping somebody can provide a little guidance for me on choosing a dorm. i think i am mostly aware of the differences between the two, but i still can’t decide which one to choose. i really like the idea of a 1940 suite (mostly because of the bathroom situation lol) but i’ve also heard that j&h has the most freshmen and it’s easier to make friends there. as someone who has difficulty making friends, this would be big for me. quality-wise, which dorm do you think is better? i’m going to visit temple in feb so perhaps i’ll be able to make a decision when i see the dorms in person. do you guys have an experience with either dorm? any advice for an introverted female freshman going for an english major?
I intend on living in J&H next fall with my friend as freshmen, but I have a friend who dorms there already and I have slept over twice. It does have the most freshmen and it’s easy to make friends there as a result of that. The communal bathrooms aren’t bad and are cleaned daily, though I’m a guy and I don’t really mind it personally, but it’s all up to your comfortability. The dorms are pretty small, so if you’re looking for a big space, then maybe J&H isn’t the best place. It’s also the cheapest option for dorming, so that contributed to my choice, as I’m thinking of getting an apartment going into my sophomore year.
