Choosing Residence Halls

<p>You will most likely NOT be placed in a triple. The Office of Residential Life is attempting to get rid of all of the triples on campus, because of the existence of the New Dorm. That means that those of you who are scared that you’ll end up in one will probably NOT. I already know that a few of the Pearsons triples have been converted to doubles, and a few in Mead as well. Res Life is trying to place all incoming students in doubles. You cannot live in a single as an incoming first-year.</p>

<p>MacGregor and the New Dorm are both pretty far from academic buildings, but if you’re a sports person, choose MacGregor. If you are a music person, chose the New Dorm. If you’re a history person: New Dorm. Psych person: MacGregor. </p>

<p>I’m going to be a junior, and I can answer any questions you have. Do NOT just list the New Dorm. When I applied, I got the dorm that I requested on my form. </p>

<p>If you have any questions, I’ll be around to answer them. Welcome to Mount Holyoke! :)</p>
