<p>Has anyone lived in a quad before? I'm thinking of choosing to quad (though I don't know what houses have quads and if they are available to freshmen) because it is the cheapest option and the whole private bathroom thing.</p>
<p>The only thing I'm worried about is not getting along with my roommates. Is there a personality quiz or something that you take that helps you get roommates with similar interests? I could probably get along with just about anybody, but there are types of people I just can't stand.</p>
<p>And what houses do you recommend if I choose to quad?</p>
<p>I lived in a quad freshman year. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that because they’re cheap, they’re extremely difficult to get for non-early decision students. (I was an ED student.) Mudge has two floors of available quads, and there are a couple here and there in other freshman dorms, but there really aren’t a whole lot. </p>
<p>Here’s my advice. If there are certain types of people you “just can’t stand,” don’t live in a quad. Not only are you going to have three roommates, but those roommates will have friends/boyfriends/girlfriends of their own in the room constantly. A quad room is basically a party room, and isn’t really suitable for people who would prefer to keep to their own or have specific tastes in people. You are going to constantly, constantly have people around. </p>
<p>There is a pretty good way to control your roommates, though: find them on Facebook beforehand. It worked for my quad and for most of the others on our floor.</p>
<p>^ Thanks for the reply. </p>
<p>I sent in my deposit March 30th or so, would that at least put me ahead of most of the RD applicants? </p>
<p>And about the people, I have to learn to be more social anyways. If it means by force, I will embrace it.</p>
<p>And also, can anyone tell me the difference between Morewood E-tower and Morewood House?</p>
<p>Morewood Gardens is upperclassmen-only. Morewood E Tower is the freshman tower. It’s right next door. Morewood E has floor bathrooms (no private bathrooms) whereas Morewood Gardens has private bathrooms shared with the room next door to you.</p>
<p>A deposit that early might give you a better chance of getting a quad, but make sure you have a backup in mind just in case.</p>
<p>^ Kate, I find you VERY helpful on these forums. Thanks a lot. =)</p>
