if i'm not mistaken, you don't have to declare your housing preferences until after Days On Campus, the weekend for admitted students to come and hang out and see what's up. If you can go to that, you can get a chance to see how people are living and what they think of their living situation. That would give you a good perspective.

This thread, I think, also goes pretty well into the debate between single and double, or at least Carman vs JJ. There's no wrong answer.

the bathrooms in JJ, at least the men's rooms, have 3 urinals, 3 (?) stalls, and a few showers (2-4, i forget how many, haven't used them), per floor. There are corresponding women's rooms. And on a floor there are about 45 people.

So that's like 20-25 people who share a bathroom? (Unless the floors either aren't coed or not evenly inhabited by men and women.)

All JJ floors are coed and any imbalance in the gender distribution is typically negligible. You would think that 20-25 people sharing a bathroom would be a problem but it works out surprisingly well since everyone is on a completely different schedule.

Is there any benefits from joining the Gateway Residential Initiative?
Does it make much of a difference?
