Martha Cook Rooms & Atmosphere

[ethereal12]

Hi–
I got placed in Martha Cook this fall and I’m super excited! I have a plain double and it’s room 306. Has anyone lived there or know anything more specific about it other than its dimensions of 10X18.

Also, side question: I chose to live in Martha Cook, but I’m not religious. I vape, have a boyfriend, never go to religious services, am very liberal, etc. Is there anything I should know or be wary of? Do y’all think I’ll be alright? I know I’ll meet people and have fun and find parties and stuff but I’m getting a little psyched out by some of these other discussion boards. Anything is appreciated! Thanks!

From 2011:

Hi! I live at Martha Cook. It’s a nice dorm. So some of our events are having tea every Friday. Tea is a great way to just relax and have fun and it’s a great thing to invite your friends (or people you want to be friends with) to. There’s also International Tea, which is the dorm’s biggest event. It’s in March and offers samples of food from all over the world.

I think you can get bored living anywhere. But Martha Cook has a perfect location so that even if you do get bored there’s no shortage of other places to go. I think the girls here have plenty of fun, I mean, there’s groups of people who party and groups of people who do but not as often and groups of people who just don’t. It really depends on who you make friends with! But it’s really easy to make friends.

It probably is a little harder making guy friends here since there aren’t any living here, but you can counter that pretty easily by joining a club or being involved in a study group or anything, really, where you can meet guys.

I have to warn you, there is a pretty negative stigma among certain people about living here. Sometimes MC is called the “Virginal Vault” and stuff like that. So you’ll talk to some people who automatically will think you’re a loser for living here and then you’ll talk to some people who want to come to tea to see what it’s like, and actually visiting the building seems to make most people rethink their preconceptions.

This got kind of long. But anyway if you have more questions you can message me or something, okay?
