<p>Which dorm would be best in meeting the following?</p>
<p>Always having access to a shower,
Has two people per room,
Not near Frats,
Freshman-oriented,
Centrally located</p>
<p>Are there any alcohol-free dorms?</p>
<p>The fact is, I can't see community showers being something I'd enjoy, but also sharing one bathroom with another room could also be troublesome.</p>
<p>I hate Broward. The AC is terrible, the rooms are disgusting. </p>
<p>Anything come to mind?</p>
<p>rawlings? nothing meets your requirements exactly.</p>
<p>rawlings living is almost exactly the same as broward, so you’d have to get over the ‘disgusting’ rooms (idk what you mean by terrible A/C though–thats an issue that would be specific to your room and you’d take it up with maintainance).</p>
<p>in rawlings: you’ll always have a shower, 2 people per room, not near frats (this is a silly concern btw), freshman oriented, and is centrally located.</p>
<p>second recommendation, and my first choice, is murphree area.
in murphree: 99% accessability to shower, 2 people per room, nowhere near greek housing, NOT freshman oriented (this factor is not nearly as important as most incoming freshman think), very centrally located.</p>
<p>wherever you go, besides lakeside, hume, a very expensive apartment, is going to be very similar to broward in quality. dont let a bad preview experience in your dorm set the stage for you to be skeptical or pessimistic about your living situation when you get there. thats a poor attitude to have going into college.</p>
<p>All the dorms are technically alcohol-free (unless for some reason there’s a 21 year old living in them…) and the RA’s are suppose to enforce this but there’s not much they can do.</p>
<p>Since preview I’ve referred to Broward as Broward dungeon, man did that place suck. If I had to live there freshmen year I’m pretty sure I would of seriously doubted continuing at this place, I disliked it that much. I’m pretty sure the singles in Hume are the only dorms where you could have a bathroom that you don’t share. At Beatty you have 2 people per room, and then 2 rooms share a kitchen and bathroom. Whether or not it’s centrally located/freshmen oriented (I don’t even know what this means) are debateable.</p>
<p>You could go off campus, but then you’re sacrificing freshmen oriented and centrally located. Though you do get a room and bathroom to yourself (for about the same money as a dorm).</p>
<p>The fraternities are on the west side of campus, but they generally keep to themselves, so you really shouldn’t even have an issue if you lived over there (Springs? Because Keys is only for sophomores and up)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t fret over the community bathrooms. It’s really not that bad. You should always be able to find an open shower/stall.</p>
<p>Rawlings, Jennings, Yulee, Reid, Mallory, Tolbert, Simpson, Graham, etc. will have lots of freshmen and are generally equivalent other than their locations.</p>
<p>hey do you consider Simpson a good dorm area to stay in…most of the people i speak to about this dorm really don’t have much to say about it. So i was wondering if perhaps you knew anything?</p>
<p>simpson is a nice place, but its kinda far from everything with no particularly redeeming factors. a lot of people live there, but i can never understand why.</p>
