<p>Has anyone checked out the 360 views of dorm rooms on the Emory website? D got into Turman – which brings up another question – are there 2 Turmans? Sometimes I see “new Turman” which implies there’s an “old” Turman somewhere…hope she got into the “new” one (had to write an essay).</p>
<p>Anyway, the 360 views of all the “new” dorms (Longstreet, Fevans, Turman) don’t look so new, if you know what I mean…</p>
<p>There was an old Turman (for upperclassmen) and it has since (very recently actually, spring 2011 to be exact) been demolished (The housing website is somewhat a relic itself). A pediatric research center is being built in it’s place. Also, despite whatever those 360 views indicated to you, I assure you that the new dorms are very “new”, you’ll see for yourself when y’all move in. They’re really nice, trust me. I just viewed one of those 360 views, and they definitely aren’t adequate to describe (all of the old dorms w/360s have actual scrolling mechanism to see around the room). Not only that, but they don’t even have pics for Turman and Longstreet. Trust me, it helps to see it in person unfurnished (as in no decorations and items).</p>
<p>Phew! thanks — D will be relieved.</p>
<p>To reassure you further:
Here are these pics showing some interior and exterior shots of Longstreet (the interior shots really only emphasize the lobby. This nonetheless gives you an idea of how new it is though):

<p>Here is a video serving the same purpose:<br>

<p>Note that Fevans is very similar, however, it has more “standard level” lobby areas (they have the plasma tv and fairly nice seating, but they are not essentially hotel lobbies). Fevans’ hallmark is the “basement” area, which has a multipurpose room, a media den (has a smartboard, and a white board, a demonstration kitchen (along w/1-2 other kitchens). Upstairs from that are 2 classrooms that are accessible to residents. In fact all of it is accessible to residents, but the demo kitchen (except during the many special events). Fevans, Turman, and Longstreet each have at least 2 study rooms per floor (Longstreet has maybe 3 per hall I think, whereas Turman 2, Few 2, and Evans 2).</p>
<p>Wow – amazing! Thanks for the visuals. The scale is impressive. The soaring ceilings make me realize y’all (did I say that right?) don’t have to worry about heating costs. </p>
<p>I like the idea of the study rooms on each floor. Back in the day, if you couldn’t study in your room, you had to pack up your stuff and relocate to the library across campus.</p>
<p>If you have time for another question, what’s a ‘demo kitchen’? Can students use it to make their own meals?</p>
