<p>Does anyone know how many incoming freshmens will be residing in all-freshmen dorms? Also, is it easier to make friends in a all-freshmen dorm as oppose to a mixed-class dorm? Thanks</p>
<p>I think it is. Even though the dorms arent actually as nice as the new ones (although 3 room doubles in the river are pretty sweet), I think there is a great benefit to living with your class.</p>
<p>Sybbie must be enjoying the holiday. I haven't actually read this anywhere, but I thought all freshman would now be in all freshman dorms except for the group in East Wheelock, and they are on all freshman floors, AND the small number of seniors who got those plum rooms in the new dorms, which are suites that are kind of isolated from the frosh. ??????</p>
<p>Butterfield and Russell Sage will still be mixed next year.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there are kitchens in The Choates dorms that students can use?</p>
<p>Yes, in the connecting lounges between Bissell-Cohen and Little-Brown there is a full kitchen with a normal-sized fridge/freezer, a sink, an ice/water dispenser, counter-space, several stovetops, a big garbage can, and some REALLY random cookware.</p>
<p>Butterfield and Russell Sage and all the new dorms WILL be mixed next year, but if you look at the floor plans, they've specifically reserved chunks of the building for first years, which is nice so that freshmen don't feel in the minority :)</p>

<p>Hey, hey, I probably bought some of that random cookware! I just hope it stays in the dorm kitchen and doesn't come home to me ;).</p>
<p>anyone have any pictures of their dorm? or is that too private to show =P</p>
<p>Link to residential communities</p>
<p>Click on each building. most will show you the outside of each building. You can see the floor plan and configuration of each dorm. </p>
