<p>i'm applying for housing and i don't mind paying extra if it has better stuff..so i think that means there's a kitchen? i dont really cook, but i guess i could lol actually, it'd probably be a waste of money..but any more details?</p>
<p>No kitchens except downstairs on the main floor. Mini-suites in the units are awesome! Much bigger than any of the other dorms (except maybe Clark Kerr). Each floor in the mini suites have a common lounge and a common study room. The mini-suites are just called that b/c there’s a door to the hallway, you go inside, then there’s this little square foyer that has three doors: 2 doors lead to each room and 1 door leads to the bathroom that’s shared by the suite-mates. They are configured as double + double (so, 4 in a mini-suite and 4 sharing a bathroom), or double + triple (so, 5 in a mini-suite and 5 sharing a bathroom). </p>

<p>hey…i asked the question about mini suites…and i was wondering…</p>
<ol>
<li>are people who live in mini suites slightly wealthier since it DOES cost 4,000 more dollars?</li>
<li>is it less social or something? or is there any downside to it?</li>
</ol>
<p>so far i have this as my preference list:</p>
<ol>
<li>unit 3 double</li>
<li>unit 3 triple</li>
<li>unit 1 double</li>
<li>unit 1 triple</li>
<li>unit 2 double</li>
</ol>
<p>im mainly concerned about the location…i HATE walking lol (i probably weigh the least a college kid would ever weigh without having an eating disorder…for some reason) but it’s genetic i guess… and i dislike exercising which is why i want unit 3 the most. i also love to eat GOOD food so i may take trips over to clark kerr if the food is as good as they say.</p>
<p>if you hate walking, you should be applying for Unit 2 and you should be considering Unit4 (Bowles, Stern, Foothill)</p>
<p>Remember, you have to make your final option anything anywhere or your housing guarantee is dead.</p>
<p>Wait, you don’t want a long walk to campus BUT you’ll walk to Clark Kerr for food? Looks like you should sleep in Wheeler.</p>
<p>Don’t listen to these people. Foothill all the way!</p>
<p>I put:</p>
<p>Foothill Double
Foothill Triple
Foothill Quad
Clark Kerr (can’t remember what size)
Any Size anywhere</p>
<p>but I wish there was a distinction between La Loma (sp?) and Hillside.</p>
<p>Those are definitely the closest to engineering (steps and a street to cross), so it definitely depends on where you will be most of the time for where you want to live if you’re against walking.</p>
<p>well i heard foothill is like a library so i didn’t choose that. although i do kind of like quietness, i also want social people near my dorms i guess. it seems like unit 3 is the most social/closest to campus? i didn’t see the other dorms besides units. but on their website, it says they are further from campus leftishomind</p>

<p>The biggest bang for your buck is Bowles. It has bigger rooms than the units and you pay $13253 for the academic year.</p>
<p>The average quad in Bowles is larger than two doubles.</p>
