<p>i heard that for triples, you actually get a bathroom in your room but you have to clean it yourself whereas doubles you share the bathroom with the whole floor but there's someone to clean it for you? am i right??</p>

<p>no. you only get a private bathroom if you're in wilson.</p>

<p>Are triples apartment style?</p>

<p>wilson is suite style -- i don't know how many separate rooms to each suite though (i'd say at least three people, but i never hung out there).</p>

<p>regular triples are three people one rectangular bedroom no bathroom.</p>

<p>I heard wilson is suite style with 2 doubles and a bathroom in a small private hallway. Never really been there so I can't confirm.</p>

<p>I'm considering a triple, as it is $500 cheaper or so, but I have a couple questions:</p>

<p>-Is it a bigger room? Or does it seem crowded with 3 people in it?
-Do you think it's a lot harder to be living with 2 other people than only with 1 other person? (the one advantage I can think of is now you have 2 chances to like your roommate, but you also have two chances to hate them...)</p>

<p>Anyone who has experience with this?</p>

<p>It's definitely a bigger room, but I remember thinking it wasn't that much bigger. IIRC, on paper a triple is only around 250 sq. ft while some of the larger doubles can easily reach 220 sq. ft.</p>

<p>I honestly don't think I'd mind having a single, double, or triple...would it be wise to write "no preference" under both "Do you want a single?" and "Do you want a triple?"</p>

<p>At the moment I'm leaning to a double but I'm thinking if I got assigned a single anyways I wouldn't mind all that much.</p>

<p>it is kind of crowded w/ 3 people ... also, i wouldn't count on getting any studying done in that kind of situation ... it also sucks to be the 3rd roommate to arrive during move-in haha</p>
