Mountainview is a suite with 4 double rooms, a common room, and your own bathroom so you are in a room with 8 people. It is the newest dorm on the main campus and it is very spacious. There are two kitchens in the building; one on the second and one on the third floor. There are laundry facilities throughout the building; there is an online system you can use to check to see how many available machines there are in each laundry room before you drag all of your clothes over. There are open lounge areas at the end of each hall. There are also outdoor tables in the courtyard that you can use as well.
My advice for freshman year, create a schedule or a regimen of when you study because then you will stick with it. The biggest thing I can tell you is to get involved; the involvement fair in the first week can be a bit overwhelming but find what you want to do, not your friends or roommates and make sure you talk to the people at that table. Getting involved will take up a lot of your free time, give you a chance to meet new people and upperclassman and have fun. You will probably end up in New Haven a few times. Go with people you know and stick together. Some people really enjoy it and others would rather just stay on campus on the weekends; you will find both types of people. It is just one of those things you have to do once in order to figure out if you like it.
Let me know if I can be of any further help!
