<p>Hi guys!
I'm currently an upperclassmen here and I was fortunate enough to get housing in North Quad for next year. My room is a double in a four person suite. At first when I found out a while ago, I was so excited - the building is fantastic, the rooms are nice and mostly upperclassmen live there, so I would be right at home.</p>
<p>However, a couple of months have passed and I find myself thinking perhaps this may not be the best choice for me (although I do want to live here!). I've had a pretty rough couple of years dorming (but this had more to do with my roommate, our completely different sleeping schedules and the rather anti-social nature of my halls)</p>
<p>Since I'm apart of a program, I'm not too worried about community bonding. But I live one an entirely different floor than the floor where my program is located. I really want a great social and community bonding experience, and I'm afraid because I'm way up from the program floors that I'll be socially isolated. Also, I've been to North Quad a few times and the halls seem pretty quiet. Is NQ anti-social in any sense?</p>
<p>Another reason why I'm a bit hesitant is because of I'll have a roommate. I usually get along very well with others, but when it comes down to sleeping and getting a good night's rest, I am a VERY light sleeper and will easily wake up to any noise, sounds, light etc. I know I can coordinate something with my roommate, but my past experiences haven't been too awesome. </p>
<p>I guess what I'm trying to say is: I know NQ is a great place to live, but I'm not sure if I should go for it. I want to meet new people, form close friendships and live in a community (and on top of that get a good night's sleep), but I don't know if NQ (especially since I'm not on the same floor as my program) will help me there.</p>
<p>My gut's telling me to go for it, but I'm still hesitant. Does anyone have any advice? I can potentially reassign this to someone I know right now, so I need to make a decision. Thanks so much to all who read this!</p>
