<p>sophemore housing help anyone? I'm planning on having a suite in one of these dorms with 3 of my friends but dont really know anything about either of them. My friends want willow but I like the location of Mayer much better.</p>
<p>i think you will have a fairly similar experience at either one as they are all 4-person suites if i remember correctly, although the rooms in willow are muuuuch nicer and muuuuch larger. i don’t think the location will make too much of a difference, they are still close enough that they won’t significantly change your walking times up to dinwiddie or down to reily center really. if you are going to stay in mayer definitely shoot for a room on the upper levels, i’ve heard the ground floor can get noisy as mayer is right on the walking path and near bruff…</p>
<p>DS was on 4th fl of Mayer. He really enjoyed it. They did have issues with the contruction noise, but that should be a non-issue for you.</p>
