Thurston/Potomac

<p>Everyone has been posting in regards to the buildings party scenes, but i’m wondering about the rooms themselves. Do both have one bathroom per room? (even in a room with 6? not two bathrooms?) What about space? Does furniture differ at all? How about kitchens? Do they differ at all? etc. etc.</p>

<p>None of them have kitchens in the rooms, if I recall correctly.</p>

<p>@ Thurston: 2s,3s and 4s all have 1 bathroom. 4s seem awful to me form the pictures I’ve seen. Go for 3s. From what I heard they give the most room per person. 6s, im not really sure but someone said it’s more like a suite.</p>

<p>@ Potomac: it’s all doubles or doubles with adjoining bathrooms to your next door neighbors. So you could be sharing a bathroom with 1-3 people.</p>

<p>thank you! which would you suggest? also, does living in potomac a downfall because of the lack of party scene/connections? do people have more friends/party experiences after living in thurston or is it really the same amount minus the noisy nights?</p>

<p>Someone else already asked about dorms in this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/george-washington-university/1273309-dorm-profiling.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/george-washington-university/1273309-dorm-profiling.html&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>Thurston only has kitchens in the House Proctor’s room I believe. I’m not really sure if triples are spacious, but definitely avoid quads. 2s and 6s are the best; they’re relatively bigger. Though with 6s, you’d have to share a br with 5 other people. You’ll get to check Thurston out during orientation week.</p>

<p>As I said in the other thread, Potomac is actually the best of both worlds and is sought after by a lot of people. However, a lot of ED kids get the first choice when picking dorms, and so a lot of Potomac rooms would be taken lol. Check out the other thread for more info.</p>

<p>I live in Thurston now and it’s really not too bad. I live in a quad and it’s MASSIVE. Like we have 3 closets (2 walk-ins), a big room, smaller room, a bathroom plus we have space for a couch and tv area. But I also know people in quads who just have the one big room, two walk-ins, and a bathroom, so they have a lot less space. But that’s the thing about Thurston, it’s all in the luck of the draw. Overall, it’s not a bad place to live though (despite the crazy reputation that you might hear about haha)</p>

<p>Furniture doesn’t differ much in them, but they’re not all set up the same like I said, like for some reason I have this huge built-in shelf by my bed…I don’t really know why, but it’s useful. </p>

<p>I have a lot of friends in Potomac, and it’s pretty much like everyone described: a double with a suite bathroom which you’ll share with another double. Potomac’s pretty nice and “better-kept” than I guess you would call Thurston lol</p>

<p>Oh and as for friends/parties, you’ll be able to do both in either dorm. Of course, there are more parties in Thurston because there are a TON more people, but you can go make friends and have fun in either. And suprisingly I haven’t had too many issues with tons of noise, Potomac is more quiet in general, but my neighbors aren’t too crazy so the “noisy nights” aren’t too big of a deal for me.</p>

<p>^ Haha what floor? My friend lived at the 5th floor i think? She moved out cuz some people played the guitar at like 3 in the morning.</p>

<p>Haha yeah it really depends on who you live next to, and I live on the third floor.</p>
