<p>Well, isnât that the point of SLE - a living learning experience?</p>
<p>i heard florence moore sucks (in terms of facilities, not the people). </p>
<p>is it true?</p>
<p>Change91 is correct. 4-class dorms tend to be just a little quieter, but I donât think that applies as much to Roble, which is probably where most of the 4-class housing will be next year. Frosh dorms have a lot of bonding, both alcohol-fueled and otherwise.</p>
<p>No, you absolutely cannot do SLE without living in the SLE dorms. Living together is considered a crucial part of the SLE program.</p>
<p>FloMo has some very nice rooms and some very bad rooms. The dining hall is considered to be not so great. It has cool catwalks that go all around it across the roof. Itâs very close to the center of campus (the closest frosh dorm, in fact), and on top of a pretty big hill. Depending on which of those things are important to you, it may or may not suck.</p>
<p>So would it be safe to say that friends are easy to make at freshmen dorms?</p>
<p>Also, are bathrooms in the dorms same-sex only or do both sexes use them?</p>
<p>speaking of bathrooms about how many people share a bathroom? </p>
<p>my sister went to a college with reaaalllyy nice dorms and she had a single suite with four others ⊠and each suite had a dining room, living room, full-kitchen, and two bathrooms âŠ</p>
<p>not to mention that there was a security/help (sort of concierge not really) desk in the really nicely furnished/designed lobby âŠ</p>
<p>where was that?</p>
<p><a href=âStanford Reportâ>Stanford Report;
<p>Yes, friends are easy to make in all-frosh dorms. Which is not to say that making friends is difficult in four-class dorms, either.</p>
<p>Bathrooms are normally shared between 15-30 people (unless you have suite or apartment-style rooms, which you can get as an upperclassman). A single-sex floor or hall will have one single-sex bathroom. A coed floor or hall will either have one (smaller) bathroom of each gender, or a coed bathroom. The coed bathrooms are organized as an outer room with the sinks, and then a shower and toilet area for each gender separated from the outer part by doors.</p>
<p>This is a great thread! </p>
<p>Somebody correct me if I am wrong, I think the housing webpage shows Roble with Quads that house 4 people? Are the rooms really stuffy then? It seems like a gorgeous dorm though :)</p>

<p>^No, the Roble suites are spacious enough, especially if you get creative with lofting beds and the like. Remember itâs 3 rooms for 4 people.</p>
<p>^ this is a little puzzlingâŠ3 rooms for 4 ppl?? Like 1 double bedroom + 2 single bedrooms?..Iâm sorry if I sound ignorant, but what exactly is a 3-room quad?</p>
<p>Eiswein, the 3-room quads in Roble consist of two two-person bedrooms with a large common studying/living space between them. You can see the room layout here:

<p>I get it, thanks zenkoan!</p>
<p>Iâm jumping in late here, and Iâm still hung up on the four-class versus freshman-only dormsâŠI have a lot of friends who are older than I am right now but that doesnât necessarily mean itâll naturally end up the same in college. Is it hard to make upperclass friends if youâre in a freshman-only dorm? Is it harder to meet a lot of other frosh if youâre not?</p>
<p>On a semi-related note, why would someone choose the FroSoCo option? Is it a middle ground between the two, or more like SLE in that itâs a program-ish-thing, or neither, orâŠ?</p>
<p>
It really depends on the sort of stuff you get involved with. </p>
<p>
The freshman dorms are highly geographically concentrated, so Iâm going to say yes to this one. </p>
<p>
Itâs quiet, youâll get a two-room double, and there is a fair number of socially awkward kids there. That said, there are also some bros. They hang out in the hallway, in an area called âthe porch.â Itâs also housed in two of the more derelict dorms on campus- it might have a renovation scheduled, though. That said, the food there is good. </p>
<p>SLE is really itâs own thing. It used to have a similar stigma to frosoco, but that has really changed in my time here. Kids in SLE are very normal, for the most part. They are also generally more focused on academics, but unlike frosoco, it has less STEM students. I feel frosoco is largely white and asian, whereas SLE is more diverse from my impressions.</p>
<p>I sometimes wish I did SLE. It seems like a great program, and a lot of my current friends were in it.</p>
<p>@Senior0991: What is SLE? Does it change the type of classes you take, or is SLE just based on dorms?</p>
