Random WWYD question. My S25 has completely abdicated room selection for his dorm. His time slot is this week, mid-day, and he can’t get off work and has no access to a computer while working, so I’m selecting for him. He’s indicated that he’s fine with any room at all, truly no preferences. He prefers a general area of campus, and there are five identical dorms there. These five dorms tend to be the least popular, because they are the oldest and not particularly updated. But he loves the location and doesn’t care. Great! So why am I overthinking just picking something for him? Because that’s what i do. I overthink. Everything.
So of the five dorms, one is all men. I’m ruling that one out as it’s probably louder, messier and I think he’d like to have an easier way to make female friends. Then of the remaining four, it’s basically two sets of two.
One group has more recently updated bathrooms (but still hall style, and it sounds like the updates are just meh). The other group has extra large windows in the rooms. Here’s photos from the school housing portal page: Large window: Young Hall | Clemson Home | Flickr v. small window: Geer Hall | Clemson Home | Flickr.
Then, next question, what floor do you choose? The dorms look to only be about four floors. I’ve heard that the higher floors are not as noisy. The first floor is a definite no go, as it’s got a lot of other stuff in addition to rooms, and it seems too busy to be very appealing. All the rooms are air conditioned, so heat rising isn’t an issue. Thoughts?
