<p>What is the best dorm in West Campus?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>one of the new ones, becker or cook or the other one that was just built</p>
<p>which are the newer ones? ty</p>
<p>the gothics are a hit or miss in terms of rooming size, you can be in a 3 room double (you share a common room-and get to pay a double's housing fee), or you can be in a cramped single. Regardless, the smallest single in the gothics is the standard size for a single in the newer dorms - Becker and Cook. The good thing about Becker and Cook is that most live in suite style, so you have a living room for about 4-6 ppl, and that's the most that will share your bathroom. In the gothics, you can end up sharing with up to 11 other people (2 showers, 1 toilet, 2 sinks). It's really up to you, and what you like. I lived in the gothics both my soph and junior yr, and I loved it. I lived in North Baker and Baker tower so i got all the perks of Cook but also the bad - mandatory meal plan :(</p>
<p>ps. the hills can be bad on some days.</p>
<p>"the smallest single in the gothics is the standard size for a single in... Becker and Cook"</p>
<p>I was under the impression that Becker and Cook had the largest rooms?</p>
<p>What exactly is suite style? I've heard it used multiple times but I still don't quite understand it. Is it like multiple rooms plus a living room within one giant suite? Or is it section of a hall? Or something else? I've tried looking at <a href="http://www.housing.cornell.edu%5B/url%5D">www.housing.cornell.edu</a> but nothing really quite explains it.</p>
<p>"What exactly is suite style?"</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://ri.campuslife.cornell.edu/ri_page_view.asp?catID=744%5B/url%5D">http://ri.campuslife.cornell.edu/ri_page_view.asp?catID=744</a>, the FAQ on West Campus Housing Initiative, </p>
<p>"Each house will accommodate about 360 students and will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as access to a snack pantry. Each residential suite will consist of three single rooms, one double room, a living room, and a bathroom. There will be a large common room adjacent to the dining unit, for house dinners and a wide variety of programs. Seminar rooms, a music practice room, a computer room, a library, a TV lounge, a mailroom, and faculty/program offices also will be provided. A guest suite will accommodate visiting faculty members, guest artists, etc."</p>
<p>Becker, Cook, and the new Hans Bethe house are all pretty much the same and are suite style.</p>
<p>the gothics are really pretty from the outside and inside is hit-or-miss for room size like quynh2007 said</p>
