Quad Dorm Question?

I lived in a quad freshman year.

Keep in mind that because they’re cheap, they’re extremely difficult to get for non-early decision students. (I was an ED student.) Mudge has two floors of available quads, and there are a couple here and there in other freshman dorms, but there really aren’t a whole lot.

Here’s my advice. If there are certain types of people you “just can’t stand,” don’t live in a quad. Not only are you going to have three roommates, but those roommates will have friends/boyfriends/girlfriends of their own in the room constantly. A quad room is basically a party room, and isn’t really suitable for people who would prefer to keep to their own or have specific tastes in people. You are going to constantly, constantly have people around.

There is a pretty good way to control your roommates, though: find them on Facebook beforehand. It worked for my quad and for most of the others on our floor.
