Spruce accomodations

Hi DcDuckee, I am so glad you provided a link for additional pictures of Spruce. If you have any other pictures of the school that you can show us (like the exterior of the dorm buildings, the interior of classrooms and the practice rooms or studios) I would greatly appreciate it.

In addition to the pictures, I wanted to ask you a few questions or if any current UArts student reading the thread knows, I would be happy to hear your comments.


What is the best way to keep cool in Spruce during the hot and humid months of summer and early fall without A/C? I noticed from your pictures that you only have a couple of stand-up fans in your dorm… are those sufficient to feel comfortable enough to study or would you recommend a more sophisticated system? I imagine you have hot water in the apartment, but do you? How is the water pressure in the showers? Is the stove gas or electric? Do you need to bring your own dishes and pots/pans? ... And very important, are the mattresses soft or firm?; do you have to bring your own microwave and toaster oven and other appliances? Do you have to bring your own dining set? Do you think there is enough space for a medium size flat TV screen?

I was also wondering if the students need to pay for their own cable, phone and internet services.

I appreciate your comments
