<p>Bossf51, that’s great news! Your daughter has one of my good friends as her HONS–she’ll be starting off the year well! :)</p>
<p>check your personal email if you haven’t received your assignmt yet (the one you used when applying) </p>
<p>im in “Sessions A” (which stands for “Sessions Annex”?)</p>
<p>Thanks Phanatic I think she’s already friended her on FB. She’s on the first floor which is nice for moving purposes. Kind of near the dining room.</p>
<p>If that’s the room I’m thinking of, it’s an excellent room–huge with high ceilings to give the appearance of more space. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info…it is right across from the living room…busy area but I think she’ll be fine with it.</p>
<p>Haven! It looks gorgeous from the photos on-line. My d says she found out on the website that it has extra-long beds. Glad we bought in both sizes! Now to return stuff.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any inside info on this house?</p>
<p>I just posted this in the other housing thread but, can anyone tell me anything about the Parsons Annex/Parsons house? That’s what I got assigned to, and it’s seriously the one house I can find NO info on. Is it that bad? I really wanted the quad but was too afraid to first choice it :</p>
<p>I’ll be living in Gillette, does anyone know anything about this house?</p>

<p>I am in Parsons House in Room 210. Parsons is in the Upper Elm section of the campus. It was renovated in 2008 and is one of the smaller houses with 46 students mostly in singles. It is well located within reasonable distance of most academic buildings and Northampton.</p>
<p>Just in case you guys don’t see it, I posted about Parsons in the other housing thread :)</p>
<p>Which are the houses with the XL twin beds? haha :eek:</p>
<p>I’m in Washburn House, on the first floor…which is excellent for moving in, but it seems like it will be just me, my roommate, the head resident, and the HC (house coordinator?) on that floor.</p>
<p>Bossf51, I think it’s just Morris, Baldwin, and Haven. My bed in Lawrence certainly wasn’t extra long!</p>
<p>Ok thanks! :)</p>
<p>On the floor plan, underneath my room number, it says “100S”. What does this mean?</p>
<p>I’ve never seen that on a Smith floor plan before, treefingers. However, it looks like your house has “100D” on the dining room and “100L” on the living room. It’s possible that your room used to be something else and that letter indicates the room’s history, but I’m honestly not sure.</p>
<p>Also, regarding your previous post, I think “HC” stands for “handicapped” in this instance. “House coordinator” isn’t a post that exists at Smith. :)</p>
<p>The S probably stands for study. The room you’re living in might have previously been a study or a smoker (Smith used to have private lounges where students could go to smoke inside their houses). It may have also been the beau parlor (back in the day, you couldn’t bring boys above the first floor, so if you wanted privacy with your beau, you went to the beau parlor, which is a slightly smaller room than the living room).</p>
<p>Upstatemom- Haven is beautiful. It was the house I always wanted to live in. Your D is super lucky, it’s the quintessential Smith house. And they have a haunted house every halloween. Or at least, they did when I was there.</p>
<p>^They did last year, too.</p>
