Question: how quiet are plazas? Sleep thru the night w/ nyquil quiet or small chit chat quiet?

[liyana179]

so much of that depends on your roommates/floormates. seriously, there's no generalizations to be made...

Looks like I'm going to be living in the Saxon Suites, and I have a few questions.

1. Can you get wireless internet connection there in the rooms? Or do I have to buy a router?

2. Do they have the equivalent of "floor activities" at Saxon? Or some sort of socializing thing for people living there? Basically, how do I not "commit social suicide" at Saxon?

3. For those who have lived there: how'd you like it? What was it like?

Thanks, guys!

1) you need a router. if you get one, be careful who you let access your wireless and set ground rules because all internet activity going through that router ends up being your responsibility. that means if your roommates (or anyone) downloads a butt load of movies and music on your wireless, you will get nailed and not them.

2) i have no first hand experience at saxon, but it depends on how involved your RA(s) is(are). some are really active and try to interact with the floor and the residents. some do nothing and you rarely see them.

3) not applicable to me.

I heard you can get routers somewhere on campus, is that right?

[VTECaddict]

if you have a triple room you can check out a router from STC.

they are just wired routers, not wireless.

how often are CARs accepted?

the CAR deadline passed, and they're in the final week trying to get the CARs sorted out. Are more CARs accepted in this week or are most done before the deadline?

I really want to change my dorm (I'm requesting from sunset to any of the 3 halls) and is it likely that it'll be changed in this last week?

[volleyaddict]

im not sure if this is entirely related to housing, but i was wondering what kind of printers people typically have in the dorms. If anybody has any recommendations that would be great! thanks

I bought a laser printer off newegg last year for $35. Extremely cheap and reliable. Super speedy too.

Newegg.com - HP LaserJet P1005 CB410A Personal Up to 15 ppm Monochrome Printer - Printer - Laser Printers

Not the same printer but pretty close.

Is there enough room to store a big luggage suitcase?

[liyana179]

i lived in de neve triple and i had the desk and wardrobe underneath the lofted bed.

with the wardrobe not flush against the wall there was enough room to put my suitcase behind it (i'd drag it under my desk and then push it behind my wardrobe).

I have a question about the moving in and signing up to do so. The date is coming up soon, and I was wondering how they normally do it? I know that you go to the move-in page, and I assume that they will put up the link to sign up when the date comes. Do you even follow what date they have, or can you just move in whenever?

I'm living in a triple next year and was wondering what bed would be better: the elevated loft, the bottom bunk or top bunk?

[Sleepwalker]

Is it a good idea to take a desktop if i already have a laptop?
