the packet: housing, meals, etc

It's time to fill out the packet. I was wondering about a few things and I'm sure other people are too.

1) same-sex housing. I don't want that, but where is it at Princeton? what colleges/types of rooms? If i get stuck with it, will it actually suck or not matter? or will it not even be noticeable? Is it common?

2) number of roomates. 4 or more sounds cool to me but is that pretty rare? I know Wilson has some big suites but do other colleges have a lot of them? I don't really want to put down 4 or more, but get stuck in a single because there aren't any big suites around. a quad would be good too--so is 2-3 a better idea than 4+ roommates? Can any student/anyone who knows describe what the big suites would be like for freshmen?

3) meal plans.. I assume I'm probably going to be going with the 235 or Unlimited plan. But i'm not really sure what the semester schedule is actually like (I know basically but I don't remember how many weeks or that kind of thing, if anyone has a link that would be good but I can't find it). How much does 235 translate to? Is unlimited going to be worth the extra $? Or should i just do 235 and if I go over it probably won't be by much. To me the idea of having to be careful or even be aware of how much i'm swiping in kind of seems like I pain, since I love my food.

Any other general info about what dorms we really want to draw into is appreciated too. I stayed in Wilson but I haven't seen much of the other colleges on the inside and don't know where the best layout is as far as # of people/bathrooms/that sort of thing. Thanks
