<p>Anybody have any advice on the best dorm rooms for freshman?</p>
<p>depends on what you want. it seems that whatever dorm you end up in, you think that one is the “best one”! </p>
<p>older daughter lived in Missions B, which is “down in the valley” and traditional dorm rooms, doubles, no sinks, good sized rooms and closets, 2 shared communal bathrooms per floor, single sex by floor (so one floor is male, another is female etc). there is a small cafe/store, gym and laundry area called “crossroads” right there, but you do have to walk up a large large flight of stairs to get up to campus for classes and main dining hall. </p>
<p>also right there is Missions A, which are all frosh, and are suite style.</p>
<p>up on campus is Maher, large coed dorm, and Camino and Founders which are older single sex dorms adjacent to each other.</p>
<p>I’m accepted at USD! trying to figure out the best dorm situation for me:
I really like the traditional dorm type- doubles with rooms down the hall. would prefer coed and want a place with a good social life. Missions B seems to be it? But i’m worried since it’s a farther walk (toured the school) there will be less hang out? perhaps Maher is better? any input?</p>
<p>Thanks for the input BayAreaCAMom! I think I may be leaning towards Missions A but I’m torn between that one and Maher! Thanks for your help!</p>
