<p>I got my housing assignment today and when i received my contract it told me I was at Markley and now to be more specific my housing info says im at frost house. Are there many different houses at Markley? If so is frost house good?</p>
<p>The “houses” are just names designated a one or two adjacent floor on the same side of markley.</p>
<p>Like CellBioGuy said, a “house” is just a floor or two of a dorm that gets grouped together to form a smaller unit of community. How good a house is depends partially on how active the RAs are, and partially on the students that happen to live there.</p>
<p>I should be able to give you some specifics on Frost House itself. Markley is in the shape of an H, with the main lobby/cafeteria in the middle part, and rooms on the four arms. It’s built into a hill, so on the main entrance you actually enter on floor 3.5 (one set of stairs goes up half a floor to front desk/lobby, other stairs go down to vending machines/cafeteria level). Hopefully the forum doesn’t format away my ASCIIness.</p>

<p>If that crude map were Markley, Frost house would be floors 3 and 4 on the same side as the front entrance. This is convenient, because that is also the side of the dorm closer to Central Campus. It also means for move-in/move-out, you won’t have to wait for elevators.</p>
<p>is frost house coed by corridor?</p>
<p>I don’t like the names they use for describing the gender situation. Everybody in your section of hallways will be of the same gender, more than likely (95% of the rooms in Markley). Usually it’s alternating, so that the rooms above you, below you, and in the next corridor over will be of the opposite gender.</p>
