<p>eliot A has temperpedic, 100%. saw it with my eyes</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Whoa, you serious? And you’re sure you weren’t looking at the newer Eliot B?</p>
<p>MidwestParent, can you elaborate? My son will be in Beaumont.
</p>
<p>Unless they changed something this summer, the only dorms with Tempurpedic are the traditional freshman buildings (Lee, Beau, and Ruby) and the new dorms (Umrath, Eliot B, and South 40 house).</p>
<p>Are Dardick and Rutledge also trads? Or are they modern?</p>
<p>Dardick is a freshman modern, and Rutledge is a sophomore traditional.</p>
<p>Personally, one of the things I’m concerned about is the fact that in Eliot there are two doors separating rooms from hallways. It would seem to me that it would create an isolated and unsocial environment. Are all modern dorms like this?</p>
<p>I suppose the "difference between night and day"come up when distinguishing between modern and tradition. Is there a list?</p>
<p>Traditional<br>
Lee/Beaumont-freshman<br>
Rutledge - soph.<br>
Ruby </p>
<p>Modern
Elliot House-freshman
Elliot B-soph
Dardick
UMrath</p>
<p>I believe Rutledge is now a freshman trad - my S is an incoming freshman assigned to Rutledge.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you’re right. One of my friends (a freshman) also claims he was assigned to Rutledge.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From what I’ve gathered, here’s the situation for freshman dorms:</p>
<p>Traditional
-Beaumont
-Lee
-Ruby
-Rutledge (supposedly)</p>
<p>Modern
-Danforth
-Dardick
-Eliot
-Koenig
-Lien
-Park
-Umrath</p>
<p>As far as I know, all modern dorms have the two doors…one to the suite, and one to the bedroom.</p>
<p>Do you think it serves as a detriment to social life within the modern dorms?</p>
<p>^No. Your floor will have it’s own personality. It’s not so modern vs traditional like some try to make it seem.
In freshmen moderns, you just prop 2 doors open rather than one.</p>
<p>There are floors in moderns that are very social, and there are floors that aren’t as social.
Likewise, there are floors in traditionals that are social, and those that aren’t.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think Johnson summed it up pretty well. It’s the people on the floor that make the floor. An extra door and say 2-3 yards won’t change much.<br>
There’s pros and cons for both modern and traditional.</p>
