OK here’s the deal on housing. Freshman year you get to live in the commons which is really nice but far from everything but peabody. you can’t control where you end up so it’s all luck, but you want to get one of the new dorms. you share bathrooms with your whole hall but there are a lot of them so it isn’t bad. sophomore year you get completely *****ed and probably have to live in Kissam which sucks. they don’t tell the prospies about it but it’s temporary housing that was built in the 50s because at that time the enrollment at colleges shot up because of the gi bill. it has mold, rats, only singles and is known for being quiet. if you’re lucky you get branscomb. junior year you need a little luck but can hopefully get an apartment in highland quad. they’re old and not too nice but you have a common room and kitchen. main downside is that youre far from everything but the rec center but its still your best option. senior year you hope for towers suites. theyre ok, kind of old, but you get to live with 5 friends, have a common room and kitchen, and youre in a really good location on west end near greek row. there are other dorms but that seems to be the most common desired path.
