<p>For housing, I got Douglas Hall (single) and I was wondering what it's like up there. If there's anyone who can shed light on life at Douglas Hall, as well as describe the building, it would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>*Douglas Hall</p>
<p>The last of the "Traditional" McGill residences, Douglas is very very pretty. It's up the hill, but not as far as Upper Residences. It's right above the stadium. Inside is nice too. Their grand salon is beautiful with a piano. It's divided up into Houses, so you have A house through H house, the houses are connected via tunnels. Each floor has a common room and some floors have study rooms. Rooms are smaller than BMH rooms but tend to be nicer (hardwood floors!). You don't have the large windows that the other dorms do, however. The douglas community is supposed to be very nice and close. Doubles and singles are available though more singles than doubles. </p>
<p>Their cafeteria freaking looks like Hogwarts. I am serious. A high table, with three (OK, so not exactly like hogwarts) long tables stretched out. They have a cappucino machine too, which I am in love with. Food is the same in quality as RVC/BMH, not as big a selection but still pretty good, plus Doug residents can eat at the other two cafs. It's fully coed, girls and guys on the same floor. They have a full kitchen too, in the hall between the houses. </p>
<p>Major Plusses: Nice residence, nice rooms, nice common room, etc, good sense of community
Major Minuses: smaller rooms, kind of a cramped feeling sometimes, darker rooms (some of them)*</p>
