<p>So I've been getting conflicting reviews, some people love santa catalina, others hate it. I'm planning to dorm with one of my friends, and I really like the idea of having a more private bathroom and more space. However, a lot of people complain about the separation. I have a car which I intend to bring but maybe distance from campus is still a hassle, idk.</p>
<p>private bathroom? yea kinda but you also share it with suitemates.</p>
<p>i lived there and it wasn’t bad. it was more tradition of complaining about the distance and separation. it does have an effect though. I lived on-campus the following year and really enjoyed being 5 minutes from class in the morning.</p>
