<p>I'M IN STIMSON WEST! PKN is awesome, but very far from commons, especially since it's going to be up near the gym next year. It's near GW, where the mailboxes are, and has easy access to the Gelb science center. </p>
<p>Sam007, Samaritan House is GORGEOUS. It's really small (but all the really gorgeous dorms are) and right on Main Street. If you're a musician, it's very close to Graves.</p>
<p>I'm in West Quad South, Blanchard House, 10th. Is WQS a good cluster? I see you have to cross the street to get to campus, but is it only like 10 mins? And is a 5-student house, all single rooms, a good place to be? The funny thing is, I actually requested a double and I'm in a single in a house =D</p>
<p>There really is no bad cluster. They all have pros and cons, but none are unbearable. I don't know much about the houses, but they are usually very nice. The kids in them become very close. WQS is close compared to North and Abbot. You'll appreciate this in the winter. New lowers are the lowest on the totem pole when it comes to the housing situation, so they don't always get what they want. Don't worry, if you don't like the dorm you can switch next year.</p>
