<p>Hi! I found out last week I got into washu off the waitlist (yay!) and I have to send in my desposit and housing form by Wednesday. At this point I am deciding between singles and doubles in both styles of dorms. Money is a big consideration for me (I didn't get any scholarships and I want to cut costs somehow). My question is whether anyone has noticed any major disadvantages or advantages between the doubles and triples as well as the traditional and modern dorms.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m an admitted student, but I can probably help you out a bit. </p>
<p>Modern Dorms: Suite style bathrooms (two double rooms of the same gender share a bathroom), nicer common rooms, laundromats (I don’t know if traditionals have these), computer labs, and generally nicer looking rooms, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Traditional Dorms: Communal bathrooms, slightly older buildings, but the rooms are just as large. </p>
<p>Many people say the traditional dorms are more social, but that is completely subjective. As for doubles vs triples, I am partial to doubles because I don’t like the idea of possibly being “left out”, if you know what I mean, but really, you’ll probably be fine in any situations; all of the dorms were definitely livable.</p>
