<p>What are the Yale room like, are they spacious? etc...are all the bathrooms shared by everyone on the floor or are there any shared by suitemates?
Does anyone have pictures?</p>
<p>[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=yale+dorm+rooms]Let”>http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=yale+dorm+rooms)</p>
<p>Dependent on the hall you live, the bathrooms are mostly within the suite (you and your suitemates only) or they are communal – for everyone in the landing – usually a bank of a few suites. No bathrooms I can remember ever would be for more than a dozen folks. The floors for Frosh tend to be heavily single gender. Sophomore year onwards, it’s just the draw.</p>
<p>Over on the Yale 2013 sub forum is a thread where parents were helping each other with move in. Lots of good logistical stuff there.</p>
<p>Housing is generally fantastic; you’ll be the envy of your shoe-box sequestered friends in other colleges.</p>
<p>It is, IMO, one of the most Hogwarts like schools if you are into that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Heated seats, gold-plated handles, triple ply toilet paper.</p>
<p>…and platinum toilet bowls clogged with triple-ply</p>
<p>i impulse-bought some dorm room decor today, and now i’m rethinking my decision. too bad i can’t send the decorations back. :(</p>

<p>I beg to differ. Hogwart is the most Yale-like school in popular thinking – not the other way around. hrumph! hrumph!</p>

</p>
<p>Why? Does this have something to do with the Yale dorms?</p>
<p>well, no, but i bought some wall hangings and now i realize they’re going to take up a ton of space.</p>
<p>Buying stuff like that in advance of moving in is a mistake. At least IM(not so)H(male)O.</p>
<p>Especially at Yale, where there’s a ton of variation among the rooms, and you will probably be sharing common space with three other people. Bring one thing from home you can’t live without, but make further decoration decisions as a group. Believe me, you can buy crap to hang on your walls there.</p>
<p>lol @ IM(not so)H(male)O.</p>
<p>
haha ahahaaa</p>
<p>yep, it was a pretty dumb idea. i figured that out. impulse purchases FTL! i was just overenthusiastic about decorating my new room. </p>
<p>maybe i’ll redecorate my room at home… or have a head-start on post-college apartment decorations.</p>
