<p>My S will be going to Case next year and is trying to decide on a dorm.</p>
<p>From looking at the floorplans of the hall style dorms, it looks like Smith and Taft have 2 bathrooms on each floor. Does this mean that each floor is Co-ed? The others seem to have one larger bathroom per floor which implies single sex floors? </p>
<p>I read somewhere that the Quad style dorms are co-ed on each floor (Each quad is a single sex, but could be across from a quad of the opposite sex) -- Is this correct?</p>
<p>Also, how different are the residential colleges? He will be majoring in both music and engineering and is interested in both Cedar and Mistletoe.</p>
<p>my daughter is a soph this year- lived in Taft (cedar) as a freshman. the cedar, mistletoe, juniper designations really don’t matter. each floor is co-ed</p>
<p>I lived in Mistletoe (Storrs to be exact). The third and fourth floors were co-ed and the second was single sex.
Mistletoe has the quad style floors with four per floor. Each was single sex separated from the opposite sex by a common room.
I found that type of arrangement worked for me.</p>
<p>The only major difference between the residential colleges are the floor plans.
Some people do tend to pick their residence based on their major, but since he’s majoring in both music and engineering, he shouldn’t have a problem fitting in either Cedar or Mistletoe.</p>
<p>During my freshman year, Mistletoe was the more social of the three. It tends to draw all types of people majoring in pretty much anything.
Cedar definitely had a music/arts major majority.
I enjoyed my time in Mistletoe and everyone on my floor remained friends.</p>
<p>I am living in Mistletoe (Pierce next year). I really like Mistletoe (community service). When choosing dorms, I wanted Storrs or Pierce, which face the inside of campus, as opposed to Cutler or Hitchcock, which face the street. I ended up with Pierce, and am really happy! Message me if you have any questions about dorms!</p>
<p>I also have a question…i’m just a junior but I plan on applying! are most of the floors coed then? and what options are available if you don’t want coed, if any?</p>
<p>D is going to Case next year and was looking at Mistletoe- Pierce. She liked the idea of the quad style rooms. There are two bathrooms on each floor - is one for ladies and the other for guys if the floor is co-ed? Anyone know if the floors are all co-ed or if there are any single sex floors in Mistletoe buildings? Or does this depend on how dorm rooms are picked?</p>
<p>The facebook group Case Western Reserve University Class of 2015 has a lot of students posting room numbers and looking for roommates. You can tell from that which floors are co-ed</p>
<p>@arisamp- all mistletoe dorms are quad-style and coed by floors, I believe. I’m living in Pierce next year and liked the idea of the diversity… probably less girl-fights with less girls on the floor!</p>
<p>I believe Raymond/Sherman/Norton (Juniper residential college), which are hallway-style, are co-ed by floor. I did my overnight with a girl in Sherman and her whole floor was girls.</p>
<p>@jkrtist - thanks. One additional question about the bathrooms - if the floor is co-ed, does it imply that one bathroom is for girls, the other for boys (specially for mistletoe dorms where the floorplans shows two bathrooms).?</p>
<p>i will be living in pierce next year and i was wondering if the bed is a a bunk bed type (meaning the bed is over the desk like the pictures on case website) or is the bed on the ground with the desk right next to the bed? im just wondering because i need to plan out what im gonna buy and case western’s interactive page on the dorm is not really helping.</p>
<p>@jehy1216: When you first arrive, the beds will not be lofted (desks are next to the beds). You have the option of lofting it (desk beneath the bed). It can be either/or, you just have to sign up to get maintenance to come loft it for you. They go around the first day seeing if anyone wants it lofted so by the first day, you should have it the way you want it. And they don’t charge you for it. I know some campuses who charge to have the beds lofted, which is odd to me.</p>
<p>@samonster,that cleared up a lot of things. I didn’t know they did that, but im scared of height so i probably don’t want it lofted. Thank you so much for the info!</p>
<p>@jehy1216- i’m in pierce next year too and definitely don’t want mine lofted… good question! i wouldn’t have thought to ask about that! plus, my roommate does, so we thought we might just make bunk beds to save space!</p>
