Questions about Hegeman for current Brown students

I’m a rising sophomore who was on the housing lottery waitlist, and was just assigned to a suite of 3 singles in Hegeman. Because I only found out yesterday, I didn’t have a chance to visit the room earlier. And I can’t check the floor plans online either because Res Life took it down and it would only be available when its time for the next housing lottery.

So I was hoping if anyone could give me an idea of what Hegeman suites are like. I’ve never been in there before and it didn’t occur to me to visit them since rising sophomores don’t really get a chance at getting them. If anyone could describe the size of the rooms, furniture, common room, lounge, kitchen etc, it would be fantastic. I’m also rather curious on whether theres any socializing between the suites. I was from Littlefield, so I’m really used to large carpeted comfortable rooms and walk in closets and a really friendly and close knit unit; would I be disappointed with Hegeman?

I also heard something about Hegeman’s kitchen not having stove tops, and I’m hoping someone will tell me it’s not true. I’m definitely going off the meal plan and would be cooking alot, a kitchen without a stove sounds rather useless, I can’t really microwave everything.

BTW, is there a Brown forum/community for current students that I can post and ask questions other than the Daily Jolt?

Thanks :)
