<p>I decided that I wanna go for a 8 person suite as a freshman at USC but I don’t know which one to pick between Fluor, IRC, and AHRC.</p>
<p>I know Fluor has a living room and that’s pretty cool but IRC/AHRC has the “best” dorms. </p>
<p>Can anyone provide some pros and cons? Thanks!</p>
<p>I bump this thread, I’d like to know too!</p>
<p>IRC and AHRC are basically the same. But IRC is closer to Parkside Dining, and they have red carpeting, whereas AHRC has blue carpeting.</p>
<p>Fluor is right next to the Lyon Center (the on campus gym), so many athletes choose to live there. It’s also convenient, since Cafe 84 is right next to Fluor.</p>
<p>My D lived both in Arts and Humanities and in IRC, both in a 6 person suite. AH is slightly newer and has a small common space within the suite, enough for a table and 2 or 3 chairs. Otherwise the suites are more or less the same…2 full bathrooms, and similar sized rooms, same furniture.
General populations of both are pretty much the same, though I guess there may be somewhat more international students in IRC due to the name…hence more may apply there.
D was very happy in IRC where she spent most of freshman year (only 6 weeks or so in AH due to a roommate issue)
IRC has a nicer front area, more cosy if you will, with tables and greenery outside on a plaza area whereas AH has a large grassy area in front, which is nice too.
As for the little common space lacking in the IRC suite, my D did not really miss that. Suitemates simply spent time in each others’ rooms.
Both buildings have common areas…though I think IRC did not have a TV/lounge area on each floor as AH does (might be wrong)
Both residences hold their own functions, activities and get togethers.
Basically you can’t go wrong with either.</p>
<p>Don’t know much about Fluor.</p>
<p>How are Fluor dorms?</p>
<p>If anyone can add some more insight that will be great! =)</p>
