Warren apartment or residence hall?

<p>What are the prons and cons between the 2?</p>

<p>I also need to find out about this, any help is appreciated. I heard somewhere that first year student’s rarely get into the apartments. Is this true? Also is there a significant difference in cost? Pros/cons for the different set ups at warren housing? If I select “double” do I really have any chance of getting it? The housing form doesn’t really explain much of this in detail, and I’m not sure where else to look. Thanks ahead of time!</p>

<p>If you’re a first year I would highly recommend living in the reshalls. You’ll meet more freshmen and it is a great experience.</p>

<p>I’ve gotten the impression that there aren’t many doubles in res halls, but rather there are more singles and tripples. Is this the case?</p>

<p>Edit: Also, does a regents scholarship give me any advantage in dorm selection?</p>

<p>Edit2: Do you know where I could find exact details on price differences between different setups?</p>

<p>One of my regents friends lives in the apartments, and she regrets doing so for her first year.
It’s harder to meet people when you live in the apartments compared to living in res halls.</p>

<p>In Warren, you are correct that there are more singles and triples. In fact I think there are NO doubles - can anyone confirm this? I am not familiar with Warren. Either way, you’ll have a better time in the res halls. Even if you’re in a triple. It goes by fast and you meet a ton more people.</p>

<p>Yup, Warren does not have any doubles.</p>

<p>So, a single in a res hall would be good?</p>

<p>Warren had 5% of the rooms as doubles last year… so don’t bank on getting one.</p>

<p>Warren res halls is definitely the way to go. It kind of gives you the “college experience” if I may. I got lucky with two super chill room-mates and my suite was really cool too. It was also the honor’s suite which made it way better. We used to stay up till 5am discussing philosophy haha</p>

<p>in the warren res halls you will be in either a triple or a single. there are two suites on the first floor of frankfurter (one boys, one girls) which have doubles instead of triples. they are designated as the “handicap” suites, although nobody last year was handicapped who lived in them, so it is possible to end up there. other than that, you need to live in an apartment to be in a double. the apartments seem really secluded from the rest of the freshman though, so you would be better off in the res halls.</p>

<p>if you are a first year - definitely go for the res hall. however, the res hall are only single and triple. aim for the single, but if you don’t get it, triple aint so bad.
i’d go for apt if you are a second year - kitchen, more storage space (heck, we had a whole closet EMPTY), bigger desk (i noticed that my freshman year desk couldnt be expanded, but the apt desks could!)</p>

<p>wait are res halls co-ed ??</p>

<p>the floors are co-ed, your individual suite is not.</p>

<p>wait i though res halls were only one floor</p>

<p>three buildings that are res halls each with 4 floors (correct me if i’m wrong).</p>

<p>I got randomly assigned Warren for Summer (despite having put Muir, Marshall, and ERC as my top 3 choices). They called me up a week ago saying they didn’t have any more triples available and asked me if I’d rather have a single or a double. Naturally kinda wanted to see what it was like living with someone else, so I chose the double. Got my e-mail today that says I get a Double Apartment at Warren College. Any hope for socializing and meeting people, cause I was really hoping for one of the residence halls.</p>

<p>Freak, so many questions and so much wrong information.</p>

<p>There are 3 reshalls at warren.
Frankfurter - 4 floors
Harlan - 4 floors
Stewart - 5 floors. </p>

<p>Each floor has 5 suites, except for the second to last floor (3 suites) and last floor (2 suites)
Harlan and Stewart have their doubles on their last floors, 4th and 5th. Frankfurter has it’s doubles on the first floor because one of the Assistant Res Deans lives underneath.
So, to do the math, there are 6 double rooms for girls and 6 double rooms for guys. That means that 12 lucky guys and 12 lucky girls will be getting a double.
200 people will be getting singles, and 264 people will be getting triples. This is all in the res halls. </p>

<p>When space in the res halls runs out, which it will, it always does, the remaining freshmen who either wanted an apartment or were unable to get a res hall because they filled up, will be placed into apartments.</p>

<p>Warren apartments have NO singles. Each apartment has two rooms. They are both either doubles or a double and a triple. They are the same size, except that in some apartments, one of the doubles was turned into a triple. </p>

<p>I advise you to apply for a res hall as a freshman. Apartments were built for privacy, for some odd reason, the person who designed the layouts did not keep in mind that this is a residential campus and it should be mingle friendly. PLUS as a second year, you will NOT be able to choose to room in res halls. You will get an apartment by default, unless of course you decide to live off campus. </p>

<p>niklask - i’m not sure if they place people in res halls at warren for summer school. they might just have apartments for that. BUT i’m not sure. the best way to meet people for the summer is probably class or dining halls in my opinion.</p>

<p>Niklask, both muir and marshall are closed over the summer. only sixth, matthews, warren, and erc are open. Also, erc only has singles, so that’s why you didn’t get it.</p>
