Dew: Keep in mind that the dorms are not single-sex; it’s the floors. Many of the Wilbur dorms, for example, will have one floor of all men, one floor of all women, and one co-ed floor. Living on a single-sex floor is not weird at all. I’ve done so twice. All the dorms are roughly gender-balanced overall, with one exception. Otero (in Wilbur, where I lived freshman year) has all girls on the first and third floors, and all guys on the second floor, so it’s almost 2/3 women.

perpetualmotion: Are you looking at a Lag double? Those are cramped. The Wilbur and Stern rooms actually aren’t bad at all. Some of the FloMo rooms are a bit small (based on the little that I’ve seen), and Branner triples don’t get a lot of open floor space. Roble quads, if I remember correctly, have a slightly cramped living room (since four people share it) and bigger bedrooms. There’s a pretty good chance you’ll be living in a reasonably spacious room.

Also, slight correction to my first post: Casa Zapata upperclassmen will have doubles all year, so there won’t be an influx of new residents in the winter like Sera will have.
