Keeton House

<p>I'm an incoming transfer and I just found out that I will be living in Keeton. I'm pretty relieved; I had heard that spots at West Campus were pretty limited this year. </p>

<p>But can anyone share their experiences with Keeton, specifically? I guess it was the 4th house built in the West Campus system, so I'm hoping that everything is nice.</p>

<p>yes someone please answer</p>

<p>I’d like to know too, I am there as well!!</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the “UG” in front of the room number means?</p>

<p>it means “ugly”, so it’s designed specifically to meet the needs of ugly people. joking, it’s “(U)nder(G)raduate”. i was also asigned to William Keeton House, a suite. see you all there!</p>

<p>Jefferson Cowie is awesome.</p>

<p>who’s that? I was assigned a double, within a suite. Does anyone have any experience this? I think 5 people living in the same suite is too much. How many bathrooms are there? Do we have a kitchen? Microwave? I’m thinking I might request a room change once I get there.</p>

<p>Good luck with that. All five of the West Campus Houses have suite-style living. If you want to change…you might end up living off of West Campus.</p>

<p>Also, there is a charge for successful room changes.</p>

<p>Right, there’s a $100 room change fee. If anything I’m thinking I’ll switch to a single in West.</p>

<p>If you can get one :wink: There were some major housing issues this year…I don’t think too many of the students who got a single will be that quick to give it up.</p>

<p>If you don’t get a single for the fall, you might be able to get one for the spring after winter graduation.</p>

<p>@joetheplumber:
there’s one bathroom for the five ppl in the suite; there is no kitchen within the suite but there is one in each hallway (shared among multiple suites)</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure your suite should be big enough for 5 people</p>

<p>At least in Becker, there was a kitchen on every other floor. Keeton might be different, but there isn’t necessarily going to be a kitchen on every floor.</p>

<p>In my opinion, Keeton’s dining hall is the worst on west.</p>

<p>joe the plumber you just cant pick housing lol…</p>

<p>you might be able to find a single somewhere on campus but probably not west (the most coveted singles on campus) </p>

<p>i say make the best of it.</p>

<p>I understand you can’t just pick housing resurgam, but it is possible that, say for spring semester, the probability of switching to a single ON West will be a lot higher. And they have room change requests for a reason, otherwise they wouldn’t exist.</p>

<p>@tmk: 1 bathroom for 5 people? are you sure? that’s gonna be a pain in the ass.</p>

<p>lol I’m gonna stick with the room, but I guess it was the initial shock of knowing I’d be living with 5 complete strangers that kind of surprised me.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if they have floor plans for the different dorms?</p>

<p>^yeah 1 bathroom per suite. living in keeton next yr so saw the floorplan. but theres a separate room for the toilet though.</p>

<p>freshman often live with 6 other strangers D: </p>

<p>not to mention those on a hallway with several dozen strangers D:</p>

<p>^^ Exactly. Stop complaining. There are tons of students who would be ecstatic with a double in a suite in one of the nicest dorms on campus. It’s a lot better than what many others were assigned.</p>

<p>Anyone know if the floorplan is up online?</p>

<p>Also as far as bathrooms go…</p>

<p>Is it a single toilet/sink/mirror/ or what?</p>

<p>^no, no floorplan</p>

<p>but there is one toilet in its own little room and two sinks with a large mirror on the wall</p>

<p>keeton house (and the new west houses) bathrooms are the best bathrooms of any dorm on campus</p>

<p>his and hers sinks with a wide mirror, bathroom locks in its own room (no flimsy stall), shower is big enough for several people (no sex shower plz)</p>
