<p>I was wondering whats the difference b/w a suite and a quad/triple. Since i have no idea what a suite really entails.....</p>
<p>I don’t know about other schools, but at my school, a suite means you get your very own common area (so you don’t have to go out to the main lounge in your hall) and your own semi-private bathroom (one bedroom is directly connected to the bathroom while the other bedroom(s) isn’t). It’s like having your own apartment minus the kitchen.</p>
<p>Yeah, at my school, suite is similar to what sopranokitty said.</p>
<p>But I’d say the major difference is that they’re describing two different things, suite is the whole dorm-living style while triple describes the room in which you’ll be living. Like at my school, you could be in a triple contained within a suite. However, you could also be living in a traditional hallway style self-contained triple. Triple means you have two roommates and any number to no suitemates at my school… if that makes sense…</p>
<p>At most of the schools I’ve heard of, it was like this.</p>
<p>Quad - 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, no kitchen and living area(has like 2-3 couches and a table)</p>
<p>Triple - 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, no kitchen and living area</p>
<p>Suite - 4 bedrooms 2 bath, with a kitchen and a living area.
2 bedrooms 2 bath
2 bedrooms 1 bath
(There are probably more types too)</p>
<p>So yeah, I think the definitions vary from school to school.</p>
<p>I lived in a suite with no common area. It was four people, two to a room and our own bathroom.
At my current school the suites are two to a room, four people, a living area and a kitchenette. They look really nice, actually.</p>
<p>A suite is usually better. I think of a triple/quad as one big room where in a suite, you may share a room and a bathroom and a living area.</p>
<p>In my school, a triple or quad is the same thing as a large dorm room. You share one room with either 3 or 4 beds, and you use the communal bathroom out in the hall.</p>
<p>Suites for us are much better in term of quality. You live in a 2-bedrooms suite with a common lounge room in the middle. You share the room with a single suite-mate, and the bathroom is right outside the room (but inside the suite room). They give you 2 keys for a suite (one for the suite and one for your room). Looks nicer and we got free cable TV and a fast wired or wireless internet connection.</p>
<p>Nice touch is our campus is 85% wireless, with all classrooms wireless & strong wireless signal outside.</p>
