Newing Dorms

<p>Hinman has suites – bedrooms, bathroom, suite lounge.</p>

<p>The new Newing dorms are a modified corridor style – rather than all rooms on the corridor sharing one bathroom (the way old Newing was and Dickinson and many rooms in CIW are), the rooms are grouped together such that three rooms share bathrooms. There aren’t suite lounges. Have you looked here? [Binghamton</a> University - Residential Life - Newing College - Room Styles](<a href=“http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/newing/room-types.html]Binghamton”>http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/newing/room-types.html) Scroll down to the floor plan for Bingham hall – Bingham is the only one of the new Newing dorms in use now – the others will open for the fall. The color coding shows how the rooms are grouped together for sharing the bathrooms. </p>

<p>All rooms are doubles – some exceptions to that for upper classmen – but for freshmen the norm is doubles. If they end up with more freshmen than they can accommodate in double rooms, there may then be forced “temporary” triples. How prevalent that is depends on how many freshmen end up accepting admission. How temporary is it depends on whether there end up being open spaces to move people to. I think the opening of new Newing results in a net increase in dorm rooms, so hopefully there won’t be much tripling, but I don’t think its something you can predict.</p>
