<p>Yeah; that floor on Lee had that incident where random, non intoxicated guys, broke into the RA's room and took a dump in it. Needless to say, they were kicked out. Good thing too; anyone who thinks that would be amusing gets a loooot of negative points in my book...</p>
<p>I'm living in Beaumont 3 right now for the summer for this research program in biology. It's nice; the dorms are all nice; doubles are plenty big. It's true, the singles are pretty small...but there's only gonna be YOU living there anyways. There's enough space for your computer/TV/fridge and whatnot. Go hang out in someone else's dorm! One more thing about Beaumont is the crazy layout of the dorms. As far as I know; they other traditional dorms have a straight hallway with doors on the sides. Beaumont's hallways zigzag back and forth and the numbers don't go in any specific order...it was confusing as hell for the first 2 days or so, but you get used to it fast. Other than that, see the previous post for other specifics...it's nice! </p>
<p>Anyone know anything about Liggett? I got a single on the 2nd floor (I'm the only incoming freshman I know who actually got a single dorm). I imagine it'll be similar to the singles in Beaumont; they're both traditional dorms.</p>
<p>Lol yah; our RA tried to explain this concept to us...I think she failed. The message I got from her explanation was that, in order to riot, you need to be going in a straight line or in a circle; and with these zig zag hallways that don't loop around; that's not possible! Therefor, all that rampaging and lighting stuff on fire doesn't count as a riot; you're not moving in a circle. </p>
<p>I dunno, that's just what she said. It's weird, period.</p>
<p>Yay Liggett. I'm on the 2nd floor too! I know it's an old dorm, but I don't really know anything about it. Most of the old dorms are very similar.</p>
<p>In terms of a Beaumont double, is there room for like a nightstand and/or a beanbag chair or does the tv/mini fridge fill it? I'm not great with the whole size/scale ratio things :)</p>
<p>in my beau double we didn't add any furniture, but it could be possible. It would probably be a little harder to fit/use a nightstand, because most people set up their rooms with their desk at one end of the wall, then the bed, then the dresser at the other end, and that fills pretty much the whole wall. If you wanted to save space, you could put your dresser in your closet. I didn't find the need for a nightstand b/c of the dresser/shelves right by the bed. I'd say its def possible to have a beanbag chair... either sitting just in the middle of the room, or if you raise your bed, you can put it underneath when you're not sitting on it. In my room, we had the minifridge and a little tiny tv stand against the window, in the middle (microwave on top of the fridge), and that filled about all the space between the two desks on either side.</p>
<p>Hey guys, since I remember wondeirng what the layout of the rooms were and I never realy found uot till I got there I made a quick 3 minute sketch layout for yahs of a traditional beau double - this is just one of the general layouts to give you an idea of the size. I remember this to be the biggest double of the Beau3 floor. The other doubles were just a tad smaller. Remember this is approximate not perfect before anyone sues me lol. But I hope it gives you an idea.</p>
<p>nice job with the layout gl7 :) pretty much all the traditional dorms will look like that... you're free to move furniture of course, but there aren't too many options. </p>
<p>lien... yeah people hang out in the lobby i guess. in the old dorms everyone hangs out in the hallways and in eachothers rooms, but i'm not as sure about the new dorms, it seems to happen less b/c of the suite style. it's not so far from the rest of the dorms, esp koenig, umrath... and even to go all the way across the swamp to danforth/shepley isnt bad at all. probably as a freshman you'll be spending most of your time on your floor and other freshman dorms... with the exeption of parties in the soph suites, mostly HIG :)</p>
<p>How long does it take to walk from say Beaumont or some dorm in that area to the Brookings area? I know that there is a 6/7 minute passing period between classes, but if you have consecutive classes on opposite sides of campus, is it really possible to do?</p>
<p>Also, totally unrelated...what's the deal with those back/arm/alien looking pillow things that are appearing everywhere (I think they might be called boyfriends or something) Does anyone actually have them/is it actually helpful or more of a hassle?</p>
<p>It's possible to make it across campus in the 7 minutes... from one classroom to another, but in general I'd say it takes about twice that from the 40 to campus. I usually left about 15 min to walk to class from the diff dorms I was in (beau, shanedling, park), and didn't really have a problem. Obviously going to the bschool is slightly shorter, etc.
I had classes back to back in Simon (bschool) then Whitaker... pretty much as far as you can go. I made it alright most of the time, you just have to be ready to get up and go the second the prof ends class. Some profs tend to run over, so if that happens just politely mention it to them sometime that you have a course immediately after with a long walk, and probably mention it to your second professor too.</p>
<p>does anyone know how the room numbers run in new dorms? are all odds on one side, or does it run in consecutive order? i know that no1 can tell me anything for sure (especially since im in the new dorm, koenig), but maybe on an off chance someone knows something...im just trying to figure out if me and my roomie got our own bathroom hehe. thx</p>
<p>polonius... you've actually got it pretty easy being a bme :) you get this nifty little booklet that tells you what you're required to take every semester, and you don't really get a lot of options until junior year... so choosing courses till then is pretty easy, hehe. </p>
<p>Lets see first sem freshman year you'd take... calc, chem, physics, chem lab, physics lab, and intro to bme. It sounds like you have a lot of AP credits, so if you tested out of any of those courses you can take the next one (like orgo), or take some Social Sciences/Humanities.</p>
<p>Well, the bio sequence begins in the spring, with 2960, so in the past, students who were pre-med would start then, and students who weren't would start spring of sophomore year (b/c there were too many eng courses fr. year and they didnt have the mcats to prep for). </p>
<p>But the bio courses have been slightly rearranged, and I'm not positive if you still have to start with the first course (in the spring)... they might have made it possible for you to start in the fall with the second course (2970), and then in the spring take the first (2970). I think another main reason people can't (or don't) do that, is because they want you to have had first semester chem already.</p>
<p>And calc III isn't so bad... just make sure you do your hw, even tho it doesn't get turned in :) Believe me... it's not possible to do all the problems the night before the exam, hehe.</p>
