<p>im choosing my dorms..and i know i dont want an apt style becuase those are too expensive for me..so im sticking with traditional..but im also a little confused as to what "low-cost" housing means..is dorm life worse?.. i'd relaly like that explained to me.</p>
<p>also, if someone could briefly break down the pro's and con's of each frosh dorm that would be amazing..please help me out someone!</p>
<p>There are a whole bunch of threads on this. </p>
<p>Low cost is a triple-- you share a room with two people instead of a single roommate. As far as I know, that is the only difference. </p>
<p>Do a search (even go back a page on the board) to find information about dorms. The Washington Square News also posted a good summary of the residences: </p>

<p>Keep in mind that the freshman residences are limited to Goddard, Hayden, Brittany, Rubin, Weinstein, UHall and Third Ave North. </p>
