I lived in Hoyt last summer. It was suuuper quiet, and the people there weren’t really sociable at all. But it was clean and pretty empty during the summer, and I had a huge room to myself. It was a fine place to live, but I didn’t make any friends there. I’ve heard that during the year it tends to get cattier and the girls can get pretty mean to one another.

I have some friends who have lived in Sherman, which is the other all-girls co-op. It’s more sociable and all of them seem to have enjoyed their experiences.

I lived in Stebbins last fall, and it was fine. The people were really nice, there were a lot of international students. The house is definitely dirtier than Hoyt, but there’s a hot tub and the kitchen was just remodeled. It’s more of a “middle-ground” co-op. There are parties every now and then, but it’s not as if you can never sleep or get work done.

I have a friend who lives in CZ and really loves it, but it’s more for the partying crowd, which I am not. The bathrooms are pretty gross, and it’s one of the bigger houses, so there’s more competition for food and such at dinner time. There are lots of people, lots of partying and lots of alcohol, so if you’re into those things you’ll probably like it there.
