<p>I got put into IRC (male, double) in Gwathmey but I didn't apply. Apparently it's really cool for people into getting to know people from lots of different backgrounds and languages. I was hoping to live closer to my sister on campus though. Got separated from my roommate of choice as well. Anyone want to swap into IRC?</p>
<p>IRC is pretty nice housing, I don’t know of anyone who got into Gwathmey who switched out even in later years. It is close to central grounds, closer than Hereford/Gooch/Dillard etc as long as they get that bridge done. Probably closer than some of the new dorms too. Where is your sister living? IRC is very close to old dorms.</p>
<p>It is weird that they separated you from your roommate.</p>
<p>BTW it’s “grounds” not “campus”</p>
<p>If you’re a first year, I would try to move out of the IRC asap. It’s kind of isolated, even if it’s closer. It’s hard to explain but I wouldn’t really consider the IRC to be a part of the grounds.</p>
