<p>Actually, LDub went through a major renovation in 1993, which isn't too long ago for a building. Also, consider this--in a non-binding referendum as to whether Pierson freshmen should continue to be housed in LDub (if not, they would likely go to Welsh or Vanderbilt), then-current Pierson freshmen overwhelmingly rejected any plans to move.</p>
<p>I didn't know about the renovations. Having lived there last year I can say they certainly didn't do a very good job.
I'm aware of the Pierson survey, and as a former Saybrook L-dubber I kind of agree. Living in L-dub was a great experience, and had many advantages, even if the facilities weren't up to snuff.</p>
<p>Just bringing this back up because I'm going to be in L-Dub next year. Any additional comments?</p>
<p>All the roach talk is confusing me... i never saw a roach in my freshman year. I also lived in vanderbilt. We did have a mouse though. We named him Klaus. He was kind of cute. </p>
<p>And, not having lived in L-Dub, it seems fine to me. All yale housing is pretty good. Eg, i drew the <em>worst</em> room in Berkeley this year, and by all standards it's perfectly fine. Except my double is about the size of a walk-in closet.</p>
<p>I saw a dead roach in the shower last year, and I've heard numerous stories of roach encounters. </p>
<p>We had at least a two mice in our suite last year, if not more than that. There was definitely a mice problem last year in L-Dub. Hopefully they have it taken care of by now.</p>
<p>Check my comment on the other Saybrook thread. I didn't hear anything about mice or roaches-and I lived there last year. </p>
<p>Plus, it's not like there's enough space for any rodents or pests to live.</p>
