Dorm Rooms (Residence Halls):
1.) What would you have liked to know about them?
2.) Would you recommend rooming with friend?
3.) If you have a double person room would you want a bunk bed? Or two singles?
4.) Location, which rooms are typically the best? (Corner?)
5.) Is it noisy, or quiet?
What can you tell us from experience?

(1) I would have liked to known more about the size. I just remember seeing pictures and trying to judge how big the rooms were.
(2) Definitely. It is good to branch out and get to know new people, but you can do that through classes (joining a FIG [Freshman Interest Group] is a GREAT way, I highly recommend doing that). You're just lucky if you get someone you become great friends with. If you're going to live in such close quarters, it's definitely better if you know the person than feeling all awkward with some stranger. However,(although it may depend on the friendship), rooming with your BEST friend may not be a good idea because that creates possibility for getting sick of each other. I know a few people who lived with their best friends and now they are not really friends anymore :\
(3) Two singles. I like my space.
(4) I couldn't really say. Mine was in the middle and I don't think the lay out was really any different from the rooms in the corners.
(5) Depends on the floor. In one of the dorms on North Campus (McCarty I think), they have quiet floors. The noisiness depends on the personalities of the people who make up that floor. Mine was incredibly loud and some times obnoxious. Bring ear plugs. Or be prepared to have to get bitchy from time to time.
(6) The dorms were an awesome experience for the first year and I think it's one of those experiences everyone should have for at least a quarter, but I would never do it again haha.
