<p>I am filling out my housing form and don't know if i should put single or double. I like sage/williams better than mission and I want a roommate, but my sleep schedule is pretty messed up. I do my best work between 11pm-3am so there are a lot of nights when I am up really late and there are also other nights where I am just beat after a week's worth of work and hit the sack at 6 or 7 pm.</p>
<p>I am a planned future physics/math major if that means anything. What would you recommend? I think that having a roommate is one of the coolest things about college, but are there other places to go to work at 3am other than one's room?</p>
<p>Kind of on a similar note, I would want to disturb my roommate while he is trying to sleep, so I wouldn't really feel comfortable working in my dorm and having a double</p>
<p>If you have sleep problems, I’d go for the single. Otherwise, you are gambling on getting someone who will make your problems far worse. You’ll still have 20 some people on your hall, and it will be easy to see them (and hang out with them in the common room). Once you work out sleep schedules that work for you and meet people and get an idea whether your schedules and personalities would be good together, you can always have a roommate as a sophomore.</p>
<p>In frosh quad, you have suites, so you share a common room with 3 other people. So if you want to work at 2am, you can work in the common room while your roommate sleeps in the room. There aren’t many good options for studying after 2am on campus other than in your dorm because most buildings close at around 2 (including the libraries). However, Jessup stays open all night, so that would be a good option.</p>
<p>schow closes at 3. you can always work in the eco cafe though which is lighted.<br>
also, there are some lights that stay on upstairs in paresky and lamps available. and the quiet room in paresky upstairs is always lighted.
again, there’s jesup too all night.</p>
<p>I remember at Previews we were upstairs at like 2 in the morning and there were people in these soundproof rooms (at paresky) and i thought that was pretty sweet.</p>
<p>Hahaha it’s alright limetime, we stalk each other on facebook anyway ;)</p>
<p>I REMEMBER THAT, that’s what I was thinking about when I wrote that. Remember that intense kid trying to do work at 2 AM while we were walking in and out paying absolutely no attention? That’ll be me next year, the night before all my papers are due…</p>
<p>that kid is exactly who I thought about as soon as you mentioned the soundproof rooms! He had the entire freakin’ room to himself hahahah. but yea it looked pretty sweet, he looked like he was really into the work. and hopefully you won’t be procrastinating THAT much haha. </p>
<p>Dartmouth stuff is okay; we got our housing forms and stuff really late (like beginning of June) so I’m just starting to take care of all that stuff. I don’t even find out where I live or who my roommate is until August. how about you?</p>
<p>“What the Eph” - as you’re an aspiring physics/math major, I invite you to join the legion of the guys who make the physics common room their home. As a freshman, this might be too early, but maybe sophomore year But of course, the common room is always open, night and day. It has large comfortable chairs and sofas (to nap or sleep when you’re tired), big tables, a huge blackboard, a kitchenette and an adjoining computer lab with paper supply for those long problem sets. It’s every physics major’s dream. We’re the envy of the bio/chem people. So don’t worry about a place to work at night. The physics common room is the place to be.</p>
<p>Other alternatives: Bronfman Math/Stats library. Always open. Two floors. You can study, eat and sleep there if you want or play chess with yourself when you get bored!</p>
<p>Haha I have the exact same problem, so I just chose a single because I didn’t want to disturb anyone. The sweet thing is that in the housing form they asked for all of that kind of info so I am assuming that even if you picked a double anyway, Williams staff will try to put you with people with similar sleeping habits to make living together easier? That would make sense. I know they try to mix up everything else, but sleeping habits seems like one of those important things that they wouldn’t mess with. I’m glad someone else is a midnight worker as well! I thought I was just weird.</p>
<p>limetime: Yeah, I’m finally done with most of my Williams forms, but we get housing assignments sometime in July since we got our packets in the middle of May.</p>
<p>hahaha, hopefully I won’t be writing papers at 4 in the morning the night before it’s due… that would be insane.</p>
I also remember talking while on that little balcony they had haha</p>
</p>
how about you?</p>
