<p>I JUST got my housing (finally...my gosh!), but I'm going to stop complaining because I got east quad even though I'm not in an MRC and I'm happy to be on central =)</p>
<p>Anyway, it says I have a deluxe double. It's 12x15...what's deluxe about that? Are most doubles really smaller than that? (What exactly does deluxe double mean, other than I pay more?)</p>
<p>My double in oxford is 10x16</p>
<p>oxford triple, 9x25</p>
<p>dc you get an average of 90 sq feet(?) per person in you deluxe, while inshallah get's 80 per person on his, and I get 75 per person in my room. </p>
<p>You got a pretty big room. I remember hearing oxford rooms to be big, and your room is actually bigger than ours.</p>
<p>Ah, I see...thanks! I measured out 12x15 with an actual ruler instead of guessing and it's A LOT bigger than I was imagining.</p>
<p>Annnddd I just talked to housing and I have a private bathroom, so it's all good.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's actually a pretty big room.</p>
<p>Deluxe pretty much just means you have a private bathroom. 12x15 is about average size for a double (South Quad/West Quad have 12x19 doubles which sometimes become "economy triples", but the doubles in Markley are only 12x12 and not very much fun).</p>
<p>Son is in a triple (not economy triple, regular triple) in South Quad which measures 11/17 - ouch.</p>
<p>My D's double in Stockwell is 12x13. This will be quite an adjustment for her.</p>
<p>12 x 15 for a double is tiny.....</p>
<p>for example, west quad deluxe doubles are 11x18, which i still thought was pretty small. good luck with that.</p>
<p>my quad in oxford has one room with 12x24. and another with 11x12.
thats 420 sq ft in total. i guess thats 105 sq ft for each of us.
not including our private kitchen and bathroom.</p>
<p>i guess we got it pretty good way over here in oxford.</p>
<p>Yeah I got a double which is 11x12 , which is the size on some singles so 12x15 is pretty allright.</p>
<p>Has anyone else lived in a South Quad triple ? My D is in a South Quad Triple and got info that the measurements are 11 x 17. How can that be if someone else said that is the measurements of a double or "economy triple" ? When I called Housing they said that they do not make doubles into triples - that a triple will always be larger than a double. We are not being charged for an "economy triple" - just the regular "triple". I am not happy with the way they handle housing - might be why so many students move off campus after freshman year. I am surprised that they put students in these triples if they did not request them. I have heard that the East Quad triples are larger.</p>
<p>TwoKidsIn,</p>
<p>11x17 does seem a bit small, but that's why your daughter and her roommates are going to have to bunk their beds and even stack one bed on top of the desk and cabinet.</p>
<p>IMO, housing is over-priced, but it'll at least be a good experience for her. And yes, most do move off-campus after freshman year. hope everything works out for her.</p>
