<p>My son has lived in all 3. Much more apt.-like than Capstone, but less sense of community. South Quad is the oldest. It had a bigger living room and slightly bigger bedrooms than the other quads. It is very close to a garage, though. Green Quad was newer and nicer on the inside, but with a much smaller living room and less kitchen storage space. We found it a little more difficult to move into because of the parking situation. East Quad was sort of in-between.
Most of the quads have kitchens, but there are no dishwashers, so dirty dishes can tend to stack up sometimes. Also, there are no disposers in the kitchen sink. (Interpretation: Might attract some bugs if there’s someone that likes to snack/cook and no one is fond of emptying the kitchen trash.) Quad refers to the buildings themselves, it doesn’t necessarily mean 4 BR or 4-person. I know firsthand that South and East Quads have quite a few room configurations such as: 3 BR/ half kitchen, 3 BR/full kitchen, 4BR/full kitchen, 4BR-5 person/full kitchen etc. Even the bedrooms in my son’s S. Quad apt. had different configurations and closet locations. You don’t know until they send you the room assignment what type of configuration you’re in or whether you may end up with a random roommate assigned with your group. Best bet is to get a group of 4 and make sure everyone gets their housing reservation in on time and that they all request each other.</p>
