<p>^ good point.....that would be bad and the gothic structure will definitely not be worth the noise !</p>
<p>Well I've heard that the number 1 complaint Pton students have is "the constant presence of construction"</p>
<p>Well, the construction isn't all that near. There's a road in between (not many cars pass; it's inside the gate). </p>
<p>Re 1942, I inquired among my sources ;) and I quote: No laundry room, but it is right between Lourie Love and 1915, both of which have them. Not sure about the lounge. Yes to the computer cluster downstairs, which is especially handy if you don't have a printer. It's also on the quad, which is really fun; on warm days everyone sits out there and gets some sun, plays football or guitar and hangs out. 1942 is also a hop skip and a jump from the dining hall - actually, more like a hop and maybe half a skip, we're talking like 100 yards...a big advantage over, say, Rocky or Mathey dorms, where on cold days some students just forego meals and eat cereal in their rooms because theirs is so far away. </p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>And what do you know about the resources available in 1915? For example, are there common rooms/lounges for all the people living in singles? Where's the nearest computer cluster? </p>
<p>And, can someone from one entryway enter another one or do your keys only work for yours?</p>
<p>and, er, anything else about Lourie-Love would be helpful as well ;)</p>
<p>From my sources:</p>
<p>I don't know that much about the resources available in 1915 (although there are definitely laundry facilities) but it is a pretty building with very spacious rooms and a great location. It is about 50 yards from Wu/Wilcox, which houses the Butler/Wilson dining halls as well as two libraries, some pool/foosball type tables, a ping pong table, a computer cluster and free food after dinner. (The dining halls leave out cereal, bagels, PBJ and desserts for hungry students.) There is also a computer cluster in 1942, which is very close to 1915.</p>
<p>In terms of entryways: your keys are specific to your individual room, but you have a Prox that will get you into any building on campus -- dorms, libraries, whatever. (FYI: Your prox looks like an ID card, but referring to it as such is Way #1 To Identify Yourself As a freshman :) At Princeton it's "prox" all the way.)</p>
<p>Lourie-Love is a nice building, equipped with a lounge (where there are couches, study booths, a tv, vending machines and a ping pong table) and laundry facilities. It's located on the quad, which is one of the features of Butler that Butlerites love best. Lourie Love is also very close to Wu/Wilcox (see the description above).</p>
<p>Any comments on 1922 Hall?</p>
<p>Man, Butler has the longest thread...though it mainly contains our insecurities...but we're still awesome!</p>
<p>thanks a lot aparent...right now, you are a superstar for us!!</p>
<p>also, what do you guys think should we buy....
i know lots of bulbs, do we need a tv, fridge, something in furniture and if i am living in a double, whats the best way to manage that stuff??</p>
<p>I didn't think of light bulbs, but of course <em>slaps forehead</em>
Um, I've heard people say to bring a screwdriver or a small toolkit because it's hard to find those things and they're useful for fixing stuff in your room/putting bookshelves together or whatever. </p>
<p>The best way to manage that stuff is to talk to your roommate and agree on what to bring. You might want two fridges, since they are pretty small. But people have said many times, don't split the cost of anything because you won't know who to take it home in the summer. </p>
<p>So just to clarify, each room comes with bed, desk, chair, and dresser? I'm not sure about the dresser part...if so, what do they look like/how big are they?</p>
<p>Glad to help. No specifics on 1922 except that, while it's a tiny bit farther from Wu, it's closer to Frist. And it's on the quad. I guess you can see that on the map...</p>
<p>You get an armoire and a dresser, as well as bed, desk and chair. The dresser has 4 or 5 drawers, and the armoire is pretty big. Some students supplement with those horrible-looking plastic storage containers. <a href="http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=2-3/qid=1122155862/ref=sr_2_3/601-3658034-3329768?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B0006O0EE2%5B/url%5D">http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=2-3/qid=1122155862/ref=sr_2_3/601-3658034-3329768?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B0006O0EE2</a> Also, the bed can be raised so that you can put an under-the-bed storage box underneath.</p>
<p>More info:</p>
<p>The room sizes are nice. Singles are definitely pretty spacious. Doubles are big enough that you can unbunk the beds and both have your own side of the room. (This is definitely not true in all residential colleges.) Some people bunk the beds and then have space to put in a couch (a good idea if you and your roommate have the same group of friends; it kind of compensates if you don't have a common room).</p>
<p>Is there a lounge in 1915?</p>
<p>There's a room in 1915 that functions as a seminar room, and, I presume, a lounge. Although I live in 1939, I've never been there :-/.</p>
<p>Also isn't the construction of whitman college is quite close to 1942 n 1915? want that make noise?</p>
<p>That's probably only during the day when you're not in your room though? Good alarm clock...</p>
<p>No, but I heard that it's separated by a road, so it shouldn't be THAT bad.</p>
<p>^ again my fears were misplaced (very pleased to know that...dont want anything to disturb my sleep :) )</p>
<p>where are all the butts??????</p>
<p>Well, mine's in a chair, but I can't speak for the whole board.</p>
