<p>I’ve heard “Lovett is a toaster” a lot but I don’t think I’ve heard the radiator comparison until now.</p>

63

<p>damn, I was hoping for some carpet or something</p>

64

<p>jus get an area rug. Should be ok!</p>

65

<p>Trust me — not having carpet is a good thing. You’re going to be the first people living there, so it’s not really an issue, but do you really want years’ worth of gross soaked into your floor?</p>

66

<p>those concrete floors aRE perennially dusty though. I prefer carpet and i just get it steam cleaned</p>

67

<p>Or just sweep your floors regularly?</p>

68

<p>its the building, not just your room, and it carries in through the hvac system</p>

69

<p>yeah, but concrete is just…bleh.</p>

70

<p>i have concrete now, but i live in a loft, and it doesnt look like a prison.</p>

<p>the concrete is ok - just get an area rug to pop some color. The issue is that the walls, floor and ceiling are all gray.</p>

<p>Ikea has some nice rugs for pretty cheap.</p>

71

<p>Does the common room in the Wiess suites come with any furniture at all? Also, does anyone know the approximate dimensions?</p>

72

<p>it comes with nothing. You MAY get a floor lamp or a bookshelf, but these are being phased out. Basically if it exists you win, but they wont replace it for you</p>

<p>Here is a quick floorplan <a href=“http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4466/wie.jpg[/url]”>http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4466/wie.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The common room is red. They vary in size but a good idea would be a 18x10 or a 16.5 by 11</p>

<p>I cant post any floorplans with dimensions, sorry. They have important info like wiring etc on them. </p>

<p>The common room is tile with wax over it. They are basically unbreakable and you cannot damage them. The floor is like a dark denim blue ish - black</p>

<p>Anything else I can answer?</p>

73

<p>Thanks, that’s very helpful. Do the bedrooms or the common rooms have windows? Or does it vary by suite?</p>

74

<p>they all have windows. The layout varies though.</p>

<p>All doubles have the common room facing the quad and the bedrooms facing outwards. Both bedrooms have fairly large windows with metal inch blinds.</p>

75

<p>Any info on Will Rice College?</p>

76

78

<p>I personally like baker. Good fun group of people. Also have the best commons of them all. Its the original one.</p>

79

80

<p>old wing is just like baker old wing (In some ways). You have communal bathrooms and bedrooms on a hall. The halls are long and have room on both sides. Makes for awesome parties</p>
