<p>mclane, like fahey and all of the mclaughlin cluster, has several rooms with just one toilet and sink and shower rooms that are meant for (but can accommodate more if desired) one person at a time, either gender can use each room though.</p>
<p>The bathrooms in the new dorms are gender-neutral, not co-ed. There is a big difference in terminology.</p>

<p>you're right. my bad. i couldn't come up with the proper term.</p>
<p>when people say a dorm is far from the library, the classrooms, etc, they mean it in relative terms. nothing on the dartmouth campus is that far from anything else. as a freshman my daughter lived in the river cluster (hinman). she would always complain about how far the river cluster was from everything else. i was sympathetic to her complaints until i finally started walking from her dorm to various locations on campus. i believe far is a relative term when it comes to the dartmouth campus.</p>
<p>Yeah... we are extremely fortunate about the relative proximity of everything on campus. My friend at Cornell has to leave 25 minutes earlier for her first class to account for travel time... Imagine what it'd be like in the snow!</p>
<p>Another question about the Rivers: are the rooms carpeted, or are there wood or linoleum floors? And if they are carpeted, what color is it? (Qs my S would never think to ask. :) )</p>
<p>They are carpeted and if I recall the carpet is industrial/dark/more gray I think than anything else</p>
<p>I heard they once were white... now I believe they are a dark gray color... go figure! :)</p>
<p>does anyone have room measurements for fahey? or know where I could find them?</p>
<p>Check the link for Russell Sage cluster floorplans</p>
<p>looking at the floor plan for mcclaughlin cluster, i noticed that it looks like some of the 2 room doubles have both closets in the "inner room". do people still take their own rooms or do they sleep in one room with the other as a common area?</p>
<p>I don't live in Mclaughlin, but I have a friend up in Goldstein that I've visited quite a few times. His dorm is a two room double with one room as a bedroom (two beds + closets). The other room is your common area with a TV, desks and whatnot. Oh, and if you live in Mclaughlin, be sure to take a look at Cafe North.</p>
