<p>I've read stuff online about them, so if you're just going to regurgitate that, no offence, but thats supurfluous to this thread since i know it and its in like 10 other threads. (I've been doing much of the regurgitating :P)</p>
<p>so, who has first hand comments on the dorms? who has either visited them, been inside them, lived in them, etc...you people, tell us about the individual dorms and pros and cons</p>
<p>I visited doubles in both Mews and Court. They were nice.</p>
<p>i staye din a court double and showered in the bathroom (one of SO MANY GREAT bathrooms ont eh floor) but i was to overwhelmed/busy to even stop by and look taht the groudn floor, and rest of the floor/halls and others rooms that i wish i did and dont know nething else! lol i saw litereally doors and stairs aside from the above and thats IT. great stairs tho, lol, i think. i forget, lol j/k but seriously i wanna go back and see the lounges, kitcehn areas and etc etc u se on teh website. lol, thatwhole night was a blast...but cant member much i was WAY TO overwhelmed...i always had no idea where i was...and now i go there and am like, oh i was right ehre, i thought i was on teh corner of the universe when i went on my recruit/offical visit. lol i was literalllyy always RIGHT behind the store, and i thought i was in another dimension lol, OVERWHELMED describes it all</p>
<p>I stayed a night at Mary Donolon and it was exactly what I expected a dorm to be. The ground floor was nice because it was recently renovated. It looks like an older building from the inside. The paint is chipping and we had not idea what the switch in the room worked. When you tried to use the microwave the fuse blew and you lost power. It was very social (most people left their doors open) and the bathrooms were fine. </p>
<p>I hope that helps</p>
<p>Court looks really, really nice. (Of course, it's new). 4-5 people / bathroom, TV lounges, and coed halls. I spent a nice night sleeping in the Study Lounge on the second floor (the guy I was visiting had too much crap on the floor in his room, I didn't mind.)</p>
<p>I walked through Clara Dickson, and it appeared to be much older, although it had a nice lobby (Court doesn't exactly have a lobby, more of a lounge.)</p>
<p>The absolute best thing about Court when I visited had to be the brownies. Mmmm, brownies.</p>
<p>what bronies at court?? so are u saying there are dorms where floors have single sex?? where are these and where arent these to ur knowledge? did u go on a official visit or whyd u stay?</p>
<p>are the houses in court doubles or quads or singles or what?</p>
<p>Court and mews have sets of 2 doubles and a single on a common room sharing a bathroom for the most part.</p>
<p>martinez i think she meant brownies like the dessert...</p>
<p>i stayed in dickson one night and it as nice. my host had a single on the end of the hall so it was really big (for a single). The other room seemed kinda small. Plus the hallways were like a maze i got so lost haha.</p>
<p>sparticus, i know she meant brownies, i spelled it wrong, i just meant, where where they i didnt see ne?! lol i dont know wut brownies ur talking abotu</p>
<p>do you think it's essential that you stay overnight at cornell? i mean, will the "residential hall" tour be sufficient to get a feel for how the dorm life is going to be?</p>
<p>no you don't need to stay overnight, so much as just spend a little time there I think. 15 minutes of observation haha</p>
<p>I didn't like Court...too yellow. The person who hosted me lived in a townhouse, so that's where I stayed overnight. It was nice, I guess, but cramped, since because it was planned so poorly, he ended up hosting two other kids too.</p>
<p>are the townhouses removed/less social?</p>
<p>Yes. Yes they are. It's not THAT bad, but it's definitely not the same as the dorms.</p>
<p>By any chance, does ANYONE know anything about the Transfer Center or dorms for transfer students?</p>
<p>my friend who goes to cornell said that lowrises suck socially...just the setup and junk. and he didn't recommend townhouses b/c they're not really set up for social ppl. he recommended two halls, dickson and somewhere else...i don't remember. hope that kinda helps=)</p>
<p>Court and Mews were awesome. . . . .but the lowrises were bad.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just got back from the Cornell days. I stayed in Dickson, didn't really like it too much; it didn't seem too social. I liked Donolon and Mews, although I heard that Donolon is very loud which might be a bit annoying, and I heard Mews and Court are less social dorms. Although those could just be myths, I don't know.</p>
