<p>Looking at the floor plans for Tower complex, there are triples which seem to be connected to other rooms with only one entry for both rooms. </p>
<p>Does it mean 3 students live in one room and few others live in the adjoining room?</p>
<p>I am just making up the room numbers here.. the floor plan show room 406 [marked as for 3] is connected to room 405. To enter 405, you have to go through 406. 406 has only one closet, 405 has one closet. </p>
<p>If one is assigned to 406 [looks soooo small for 3 people] does it mean they get to use 405 and 406 or the 3 kids use 406 and some one or two gets to use 405?</p>
<p>Sounds confusing but current Wellesley students may know what I am talking about. Still, the rooms are small, do not know how one can live there?</p>
<p>I don’t know about Tower, but my D lived in Dower last year. There was one entrance into a study with 4 desks. On either side of that room were 2 doors, each leading into a room with 2 beds. Technically, this was a quad, but one of the rooms only had one student, so there were 3 people in this particular suite. Each of the 3 rooms had a closet. They used the bedroom closet for their clothes, and the study closet for their dirty laundry and miscellaneous stuff. It worked out very well, even though all 3 rooms were small.</p>
<p>I don’t think first years get a choice of res hall. My D was just assigned to Dower and loved it, so when she got a choice, she picked it again.</p>

<p>Thanks. My D, got a triple [not sure should we say Yipeee or say - ohhh, a triple…] :), in Claflin [She wanted Claflin and she got it, but not sure about the triple situation].</p>
<p>Looking at the floor plan, the room that has been assigned to them is a long VERY narrow, irregular room with one closet. From their room there is an entrance to another squarish room with one closet. In the floor plan their assigned room [let us say 401] says for 3 people, and there is no notation in the single attached room [let us say 402]. </p>
<p>So I am confused here. Does this mean 3 people live in this very narrow room [they may not even have walking space, leave alone store stuff or have tables] with one closet and the adjoining room [you can only enter this room through their assigned room] will be used by an upper class woman or when they say it is a triple, the three people get to use the two rooms? </p>
<p>It makes sense that three people use the 2 rooms but the second attached room has a different room number…:(</p>
<p>It will help us to know this, so we can realistically plan what not to bring.</p>
<p>Any one who has lived in Claflin… can you please post your thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Okay… got the answers…:)</p>
<p>BTW… it looks like Wellesley does take in to consideration a lot of things before putting people together in a room [well they can not predict the personality match]. </p>
<p>Thanks for all those that thought of answering my question… :)</p>
<p>@tamtiger, glad you got your answers! Just wanted to mention my D (who is now graduated from Wellesley) lived in a triple in Claflin her first year. It was a very long room with two closets. She got along great with her 2 roommates and had no issues being in a triple. And even though she was randomly assigned to both Claflin and the triple, she chose to live in Claflin with one of the roommates (the other one became an RA in Claflin) her second year!</p>
