<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>Already posted this in the Warren Pros/Cons thread, but here it is again: </p>

<p>WARREN COLLEGE:
GE’s:

  • PROS: - One of the easier GE requirements especially for engineering majors.
  • makes getting a minor really easy because of the Programs of Concentration
  • allows you to take courses outside your major so you have diversity
    in your classes
  • Can take interdiscplinary minors like Heath Care&Social Issues, Law&
    Society or Perspectives of Social Sciences or Perspectives of
    Humanities/Fine Arts
  • CONS: Two Warren Writing Classes and 2 Ethics&Society classes
    RESIDENTIAL HALLS:
  • PROS: - Live in a suite of 8 or 10 people with co-ed floors, each suite has a common
    room and decently sized restroom/shower area
  • The 3 res halls (Frankfurter, Harlan, Stewart) are all right next to each other
  • Stairs/elevators so there are multiple ways of getting to your suite
  • Sand Volleyball courts/basketball courts/Warren Lawn (to play soccer, throw
    frisbees, sun tan/chill on)
  • Very good/nice maintenance staff that come to clean twice a week
  • study lounges on each floor (some have TV’s/pool tables)
  • JK Wood Study Lounge above Canyon Vista, with piano
  • Laundry Room/Trash Rooms on almost every floor
  • Bunnies (as well as Raccoons) everywhere
  • CONS: - Hard to get to know everyone on your floor or building because there are
    too many people/suites unless you really initiate it.
  • All res halls are located at the edge/farthest edge of Warren (especially
    Harlan) so it may be annoying to walk back when you are really tired.
    CANYON VISTA:
  • PROS: -Indoor/Outdoor Seating
  • Constellation Room? (the lights in the room changes color from time to time)
  • accepts tritoncash/dining dollars
  • Sundae Mondays! (don’t know if they have it anymore)
  • Daily Grill Menu/Sandwich Station/Pizza/Pasta/Salad Bar/Drinks/Chips/Pastries
  • Fine Dining Thursdays
  • Taco Salads/Burritos/Stir Fry are pretty good
  • convenient location, literally right outside the res halls
  • CONS: - Same food, get tired of it and quality is not as good as it can be
  • closes at 8pm
  • food is expensive
    EARLS’ PLACE:
  • PROS: - Open till 1am!
  • good market for random snacks/necessities
  • Espresso Bar with pastries/Starbucks coffee
  • chocolate covered gummy bears/pretzels!
  • nice place to relax/good music
  • microwave to heat up food
  • CONS: - expensive
  • closes at 1am…needs to be 24 hours
    LOCATION:
  • PROS: - Residential life office/mail boxes/Student Activity Center are close by
  • Nice Canyon View
  • Close enough to Canyon View Pool/Mail Services/Foodworx/Rimac/Geisel/PC
    (5-10 minute walk)
  • On the opposite end of Revelle, so if you have classes at York Lecture Hall
    at 8am…that sucks
  • parking lots right outside
  • convenient on cul-de-sac on equality/justice lanes to get picked
    up/dropped off at
  • close to CSE/Engineering buildings for you engineering majors
  • CONS: depends how lazy you are to walk…</p>

<p>Hope this helps :D</p>
