<p>finnsdad,
My daughter lived in Kershaw (also substance free) for 2 years. She said that no one really cares where you live. She made many great friends in Kershaw and will be living with 5 of them in an on campus apartment this year. Tell your daughter not to worry about being “labeled”. I believe “single sex” refers to the entire floor. </p>
<pre><code>Ana92ksa: I second bethievt on the memory foam pad, definitely a good investment.

<p>Any opinions or coments about Lazier Hall?</p>
<p>I’m in Rathje, anyone know anything about that. I know it is in east campus.</p>
<p>Thanks bethievt for the hint on the memory foam…I’ve seen it online at BB&B but there are so many options on matress covers that sometimes you get lost…I will look for the memory foam then…but how does it goes? do you first put a mite proof cover to wrap the matress then the memory foam on top of it and cover the whole thing wiht a fitted sheet? sorry to ask this but the pictures at BB&B were not so clear about it…thanks</p>
<p>As I recall, we put on a thin dust mite cover (son is allergic), then the memory foam, a matress pad and then a sheet, extra long. Not everyone loves memory foam, but my son certainly does.</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about Rathje or Lazier.</p>
<p>I recommend memory foam mattress toppers for the beds at Grinnell, but a lot of people use egg crate foam toppers and are happy with them.</p>
<p>The East Campus dorms are all pretty similar in construction. Rathje’s the northernmost and Lazier’s the southernmost. There’s a parking lot near Rathje and Lazier’s central location makes it pretty desirable among East Campus dorms.</p>
