Interior photos

<p>Here are some photos of some rooms in Butler -- it's admittedly not the prettiest res college, but these look fairly roomy with lots of natural light (keep in mind that Butler has lots of singles and doubles): <a href="http://web.princeton.edu/sites/butlercollege/butler_campus/butlercampus.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.princeton.edu/sites/butlercollege/butler_campus/butlercampus.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Various Mathey pics, including a couple of the Mathey common room.

<p>I would have taken some pictures of Butler dorm rooms this weekend, but I wouldn't have felt right about posting them without the permission of the people whom those dorms belong to.</p>

<p>Although Butler is certainly not the most asthetically appealing dorm at first sight, a little bit of effort can go a long way. The host I stayed with was fairly messy, and it basically augmented the ugliness of Butler, but I saw several other dorms that were clean, organized and decorated (to some extent), and I didn't find any problem whatsoever with them.</p>

<p>question... is there a piano in every common room, or is thjust a Mathey thing?</p>

<p>I never saw any pianos in the Butler suites, so it's definitely not in every room. I can't remember whether or not I saw one in Forbes...</p>

<p>There is a piano at Forbes.</p>

<p>Hehe, there's a difference between a suite/quad common room, and a residential college common room. There probably isn't anyone with a piano in their suite common room, but every res college common room has a piano. There are also music practice rooms elsewhere.</p>

<p>When I visited Mathey/Butler/Wilson area, I saw dance studios as well!! :D</p>

<p>Haha, whoops - that's true, frozen-tears.</p>

<p>In any case, I saw one of the Butler common rooms (apparently all are different) and it most certainly did not have a piano. :)</p>

<p>The Butler common room in Wu Hall right outside the college office has a piano.</p>

<p>muchas gracias to frozen tears. your pictures reassured me that there is great housing at Princeton. I joined the Princeton class of 2010 this morning by faxing in my acceptance. I am very happy about it and really looking forward to coming.</p>

<p>awesome... welcome, mel!</p>

<p>glad you're joining us, mel! :D</p>
