<p>I'm in the middle of doing my housing application - could someone tell me more about the "Special Housing Options" page? I believe the ones listed were: </p>
<p>East Wheelock</p>
<p>Single Sex Living Area (Wing) and Bathroom</p>
<p>Substance Free Housing</p>
<p>For the second one, wouldn't it be a given that bathrooms are single-sex? Does this just mean that the person across the hall will be the same sex as you?</p>
<p>My S’s freshman floor was coed, but room mates and suite mates were always of the same gender and they had single sex bathrooms. I think that you are correct that single sex bathrooms are pretty much a given…the only exception might be if one lived in an apartment, since each one has only one bathroom. But S’s apartment has only male students. I doubt they mix genders there.</p>
<p>So I would figure that they mention the bathroom only to make it absolutely clear.</p>
<p>In East Wheelock you can vote to become a substance free floor/ request to be placed in one of the application. Most places do have single sex bathrooms and showers, but there are a few exceptions (Russel Sage comes to mind, where the bathrooms and showers are mixed gender). </p>

<p>The bathrooms and showers are only mixed gender if they’re single bathrooms. One toilet or one shower per door…super nice too. That’s in the newer freshman doors. The single sex wing and bathroom means the choates, I think…each floor of the choates has three wings, with like six or seven singles and doubles and a bathroom to a wing, and each wing is single sex. So the floor is coed, but your part of it isn’t.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. Are any of the other dorms set up with single sex wings like that, or did I just unknowingly apply to live in Choates? Hahaha.</p>
<p>Also, what does “Cancel Application” mean on the bottom left? If I clicked that would I be able to restart the app again and change answers?</p>
<p>^yeah, you just start over.</p>
<p>Errr…so what happens if I applied to all three options?</p>
