S got assigned to a “double room in triple suite” Baits 2. On the positive side, it looks roomy, with a study area and it’s own bathroom (though he would have preferred to walk down the hall to the communal bathroom in a traditional dorm.)

The contract doesn’t say which building in Bates 2 he’s placed in. When do you know which of the houses you’re assigned to? Any clue?

If Bates isn’t really friendly, can’t those residents hang out at Bursley a lot since the dining hall is there?

Do all the dorms, including the houses like Bates, provide some kind of social programming for freshmen?
