Ea Bonding

<p>make sure they are somewhere you could live just in case.</p>

<p>Hey, I'm Emily from Princeton, New Jersey. I'm interested in history, political science, and international relations...Chicago is pretty much my first choice but I still sent out those other apps for relative financial aid offers.
As an awfully interesting side note, I should be doing an english paper right now. So I shall.</p>

<p>Oh, and I'm thinking most favorably about living in Max P. I definitely am going for nice, clean, big rooms and private bathrooms. About the housing thing, what is everyone thinking of the "Are you a night person?" question. I'm not quite sure what to say...I feel like you could screw yourself over either way.</p>

<p>yeah, im going to put that i am a night person because i prefer having my room be partied out than having someone who wants to go to sleep at 8 every night and shove me out of the room. but i think im going to put a very low rating on this preference, or maybe say no preference at all.</p>

<p>Does anyone know which dorms are available to first-years and how many spots are available? I am looking for something with a private bathroom and a lot of stuff going on. I know Max P will be pretty easy to get into, but I don't know about the other ones. (Man, I still have to fight for a spot, even after admission!) Oh well, I am happy about the acceptance. Now I just have to figure out how to pay!</p>

<p>Every dorm but two is open to freshman, though that doesn't mean that there are always as many spots for freshman who want specific things, like a private bath etc. Max P. sounds good, if you're looking for a private bath (plus they're brand new!) and action (center of the campus, good food with bartlett dining hall.) If you want a single, you're out of luck though. Pierce is quite social from what I hear, and central, but again no singles, and I'm not sure on bathrooms. There are a lot of options, but those are what immediately come to mind.</p>

<p>You will get a nice packet of info with the acceptance letter. </p>

<p>Keep in mind that shared bathrooms arent exactly a horror story (and you dont have to clean them). The benefit of the Max P bathrooms is that each bathroom is shared between two rooms so there are 4 people to clean it.</p>

<p>MaxP kinda has singles. 2 singles sharing a common bath, which is pretty much like a single.</p>

<p>When I visited campus, they said that there were two sleeping rooms, one person each, one bathroom between the two. They even showed me a room that was already full of sample stuff, and it had only one bed. But now I hear otherwise. I am guessing that we are wrong, fortune4260. What does anyone else know. </p>

<p>PS, which two dorms aren't available to first years?</p>

<p>Max P definately has suites of doubles (2 beds). </p>

<p>Check out the floor plans. There are some singles but it is mostly suites of 2 connected doubles.</p>

<p>P.S. Does anyone want to explain the weird double bathrooms? is it like one with a sink and shower and the other with a sink and toilette?</p>

<p>can freshman get the singles in Max P?</p>

<p>no--it's either impossible or nigh impossible. but having your own room in a suite is rather similar, i think.</p>
