Housing package arrived. How isolated is Lothrop from the rest of the campus?

<p>Seriously considering Lothrop as my first housing choice, since I will be a nursing student in the fall. However, I'm afraid that I'll be too far removed from the rest of the campus.</p>

<p>If you do live in Lothrop, I'd love to know where you do most of your eating and what kind of dining plan you have.</p>

<p>I really would love to live in a single and am actually considering Tower C. Its seems to be more centrally located and in the heart of the campus.</p>

<p>Hi kef318,
I currently live in lothrop and I do really love it here. The singles provide you with a different dynamic from towers. What your social life will be like will mostly depend on you. In a all singles dorm, you can have the privacy you want when you want it, but also, since everyone else is in a single, they too will be seeking out new friends. I’d greatly suggest keeping your door opening and visiting others on your floor during orientation week to meet some great new people.
In terms of meals, I eat everywhere. Market Central definitely for your swipes since they have a lot more options than the Perch. Then as for dinning dollars, William Pitt Union/Taco Bell/Cathedral during the day. On weekends, I often head up to the Pete with some friends for a meal or two. I also use a lot of my dinning dollars in the quick zones either up in Sutherland or down in Towers. I am on the lowest tier (tier 3), with around 700 dinning dollars and 50 swipes.</p>
