<p>Just wanted to know what the dorms are like. Big or small? Are they mostly doubles? Are they wireless?</p>
<p>i was in 2 freshman dorms when i visited (hope and keeney), and they were pretty big, imo. far better than columbia's, anyway. i'm pretty sure all freshmen live in doubles. there's a lot of different ways to arrange the rooms, but most had a lot of open space. i know at least one person had a couch. i really liked them.</p>
<p>The freshman girl I stayed with in Mead had a two-room double with a closet and a bathroom. Talk about nice.</p>
<p>oh man, rabo, what building was that.</p>
<p>I was under the impression all the dorms were traditional doubles with bathrooms down the hall.</p>
<p>Well except for grad center, which is for, ironically, undergrads. I stayed in the grad center over the summer. It's terrible, 5 singles share a bathroom, but it's not like u have a common room to hang out with the other 4 people, so like I never saw those guys.</p>
<p>Just wondering.....Are the dorms particulary noisy or are they usually quiet? Or are their different dorms with both atmospheres?</p>
<p>I think there's a designated quiet dorm. That might be the substance free one.</p>
<p>Not that it matters that much, but is there cable in the dorm rooms?</p>
<p>I was just reading on their site and I do believe there is cable in all the rooms.</p>
<p>Anyone here have a dorm preference? Current students' opinion of the best/worst dorms?</p>
<p>Man...I wish we could just pick our dang dorm...but that would never work...Who else is nervous about their roomates?</p>
<p>I'm pretty nervous that I'll get some kind of uptight neatfreak, which is why I picked all the messy choices on the questionnaire.</p>
<p>I'm afraid I'll get a roommate who is on a regular basis catty or obnoxious or both. I want a nice person!</p>
<p>Oh, and the rooms in Harkness are standard (size-wise, furnishings-wise) but perfectly comfortable.</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether the people who send in their Commitment cards earlier get better housing?</p>
<p>I would imagine if anything got you better housing, it would be sending in the housing forms, not commitment cards. Not that sending in housing forms necessarily gets you good housing either.</p>
<p>i hope not, that means being a waitlist acceptee is an absolute shaft.</p>
