| ercmilla,
You made me giggle when I read your last post! I heard that Lambeth is a lot of fun to live in, but you don't get a single room. Nonetheless, living on-Grounds, at least one year is important.
I have a friend at Brown College on Monroe Hill. The word "portal" is confusing, but to me, it's kind of like a little apartment that roommates share. One person gets the first/entry room, and the other get the back room that leads to a bathroom. There is a door between the roommates rooms, so technically, one can close a door and be alone. But the roommates have to enter each other's rooms to either go to the bathroom or exit/enter their shared space.
I've heard that G/D can be a little isolating, but I don't have first hand knowledge. Most people, second year choose Lambeth or Bice, or move off Grounds. I'm moving to an apartment with friends, but there are pros and cons to that too, like: expense, off-Grounds, year lease, lack of UVA security, distance (though the walk is a nice one), new experience and fun, single bedroom. Good luck. |
