Hey Swingset – I think I have some similar views on my room as you do…but i’m not sure what dorm to select…
Sounds like you want a place to live that is “private”- but you are also a social person. I’m outgoing, have lots of friends - not a hermit–but I want room to be quiet-not the floor hang-out. When the door closes-- I want to shut everything out–…
I want to meet lots of people-- but I want my room to be my retreat – …when I’m in my room, I think (but of course this can change), i want to be able to kick back, relax, sleep uninterupted and not deal with a flurry of people in and out all the time. I don’t think that makes me a hermit at all-- my room is going to be my new home…
I’m not sure if that means I should avoid the larger dorms – or just make sure I try to find a roommate that feels that way about our room and still head to a large dorm.
The hill has lots of small dorms-- but it seems like I’d meet fewer people if I selected welch, or henderson.
If I go with mudge quiet floor-- I still have all the mudge lounges to meet everyone…?

Kate and other STUDENTs… does that make sense-- ?
Why is so gloomy on C4–?

Swingset- what’s your major-- maybe we would be a good fit…I’m CS and hope to double with ECE eventually…
I was thinking mudge or welch-- and once I learned about the mudge quiet floor that sounds kind of interesting- but want to hear more from kate on why it seems so gloomy. I’m a bit messy–but not dirty… I do want the bathroom to stay clean (my roomie at pre-school was disgusting!!!–dirty underwear everywhere…and it was unclear who was the person missing the toilet every morning - there were four of us to that bathroom and my parents were ROFL when they heard that I bought a spray bottle of lysol for the sink-- they didn’t know I could care about clean bathrooms! Neither did i-- but I don’t want to share a bathroom with a stranger ever again that is that disgusting in the bathroom).
