<p>Just to add to those former freshman who were in Hill and ended up loving it... I was in the same boat last year. I went on to Pennster (the first place that posted our assignments, it'll be up for you guys on June 10th) and saw Hill and my stomach dropped. However, knowing what I know now, I would have wanted to live in Hill my freshman year. Yes, I know tons of Quad people who loved the Quad, but there is something about the community at Hill that is not matched anywhere else on campus. It has more common spaces (lounges, etc) than all of the other college houses COMBINED. People are never in their rooms, everyone is out distracting one another from doing any work :). You will make amazing friends both within your suite and outside of it.</p>
<p>Just go into it with an open mind, and if you do, I'm sure you'll love the place. Yes, the building sucks, it's ridiculously hot all year round, and the rooms are tiny, but it does have a lot of positives going for it. The people, not the building, make Hill what it is.</p>

<p>Alafleur1 (or anyone else)...I got my room assignment and its a 3-bedroom triple in Fisher Hassenfeld (Room 213 of McKean...its the media and communications program I think). What do you know about these kind of rooms? The layout on the website ( <a href="http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/housing/quadrooms/McKean/acwebpublish.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/housing/quadrooms/McKean/acwebpublish.htm</a>) has 213 connected to a 213-A and a 212. Does anyone know what the actual layout is?</p>
<p>That looks like it, 1 common room, 2 bedrooms, 1 with bunkbeds and 1 with a single bed. Im just assuming here, but thats what it was like in a triple i saw at Harvard. Just make sure you arrive early if you want your own room, or you could work out a sharing deal with your roommates.</p>
<p>If I don't have my PennKey yet, I can't find out what room I got, right?</p>
<p>nope........</p>
<p>my floor looks like it has one bathroom/shower for 10 people. ouch. so does that mean it's a coed bathroom or a single sex floor?</p>
<p>To all the people in triples in the Fisch...</p>
<p>ahahahahahaha.</p>
<p>I'm sorry. Enjoy climbing up to your bed every night.</p>
<p>The triples are rooms that used to be <em>choice</em> doubles- two small bedrooms with a common room for two people. They made them triples by shoving a third bed & dresser & desk set into the common room. You can manuever them into a bunk if you're lucky, so you have 2 beds in one small room and the other in the other small room... but the side rooms are literally about 6x8, and in most of them the beds are lofted because otherwise you can't fit the desk in there.</p>
<p>BUT, the side rooms are still better than the common room if you like privacy. It's definitely nice to be able to close your door and have your own space. And most of them have nice sized closets, which is appreciated.</p>
<p>(it's honestly not so bad unless the person sleeping in the common room is a whore)</p>
<p>If anyone is in 208 Baldwin, let me know if there's a cover on your radiator. Every single time a maintenance guy came by they asked what I'd done with it... but it never existed *note- this was 3 years ago, so I'd hope they've gotten one by now.</p>
<p>Hey guys is Hill coed halls? or are the halls all male and all female?</p>
<p>seems like its coed from facebook</p>
<p>All other info including room layout and roommate is not yet available until June 1. However, just keep checking, it may be released earlier.</p>
<p>All halls in all college houses are coed by room. It's pretty random where guys and girls are... Some halls go almost exactly guys room-girls room-guy-girl-etc. Others are not quite so patterned. Last year I (a guy) had girls on one side and a guy in a single on the other. </p>
<p>As for whoever asked about bathrooms a few posts ago... if you're in the quad, which by your description of the bathroom situation it sounds like you are, there's usually a bathroom pretty much between every building division, plus some. Therefore, while it looks as though you only have one bathroom, there is probably another one on the other end of your hall. The bathrooms are single sex, although if there is unanimous consent, I believe they can be made into unisex bathrooms. </p>
<p>Bathrooms are pretty well spaced in all of the college houses... if the one you usually use is full, another one is usually just a short walk away. </p>
<p>In Hill, where I lived this past year, there are typically 8 bathrooms per floor, 4 guys and 4 girls. Each suite generally has one or more of each, but quite often the closest bathroom to you isn't the one that is within your suite. Even though we had a lot of guys sharing our bathroom and its two showers, I only had to use a different bathroom twice all year. As long as there aren't really long shower-takers using your bathroom, it's usually not a problem.</p>
<p>I got my first choice in Sansom Place East 106. For one of the posts earlier, I believe if you deny your assignment, you get put on some type of waiting list until others get assigned (from what I've been told). I wouldn't risk it - go ahead and confirm it so that at least you have a room. All of the layouts and roomates, etc. will be up on Wed. (June 1).</p>

<p>I'm so sorry.</p>
<p>Floor one... oh man. Horror stories.</p>

<p>We'll be neighbors! I got Reipe 110 McIlhenny. Are you in Living Cultures?</p>
<p>I'm really hoping that the beds can be made into bunkbeds. Sleeping in the common room of a triple would suck. Basically I want to cram as much crap into the side rooms as possible and maybe be able to fit something cool like a futon into the common room.</p>
