<p>Hello! I'm looking for more information from current students and alumni on the Mews Residence Hall. I've found the floor plan here (pardon large link):</p>
<p>I recognize the bed, desk, trashcan, dresser, and desk. I'm assuming the two sets of blue lines on the right side mostly likely windows or stunted shelves.</p>
<p>On the left side, I think the quarter-circle and opening are a doorway. However, I'm puzzled at what the quarter-circle and opening below it are. I'm thinking it must be one of the three:</p>
<p>(a) an opening to a closet (which is very likely)
(b) an entrance to the room next-door which would turn into a passageway once the door on the other side opened as well
(c) a portal to a city whose residents exist only as faded apparitions that neither age nor die</p>
<p>I'd like to make sure my guesses are correct. Also, if anyone could contribute information about the Mews Hall and living at Cornell in general (your experiences, what you thought you should have brought), I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.</p>
<p>living in mews is great, and since judging by the floorplan your in a single, you should have a good experience (ie, u don't have to deal with a crappy roommate). it's got air conditioning, so that's a plus, and it's closest to appel, which has a fitness center and a dining hall.</p>
<p>it and ckb are basically the best dorms on north campus - most people seem to like it. because of this, i'll just list the cons:</p>
<p>-walls paper thin
-need to swipe twice to get anywhere (once for the main door, once for stairs or elevator)
-elevator slow
-doors do not automatically prop open</p>
<p>these are really the only cons i can think of - so everything else is excellent</p>
<p>it's divided into east and west - to me personally, they're like different dorms since they're only connected on the 1st floor by the lund lounge, which is a large lounge with furniture and a piano. there's several lounges, some with a tv and couches, and some for basically studying. there's carpet floors in the rooms.</p>
<p>just a few things about bringing stuff - if you like to play ping pong, bring your own paddles and balls. also, i'd advise against getting a tv personally - i did and never really used it due to DC++ (which makes it easy to download stuff) and since there are tvs in the lounges - if you want to play video games just take them from your room and hook it up to a tv in the lounge. you'll probably end up overpacking - just find a large checklist and get most things on it.</p>
