In response to the sunest plaza thing- it’s really true. The layout lends itself to a more antisocial atmosphere. I have a few friends who live there, one lives in courtside and he is always in our suite in terrace. He’s there about as much as I am (not counting sleep, obv).

I live in terrace among a floor of second years who organized it so they’re with all their friends. Being a freshman in a plaza is less social than being a second year because freshmen dont coordinate, but its still great.

My suggestion, if you’re planning on living in a plaza (two connected rooms), try to be really good friends with the other half of the plaza. It makes it so much more fun, like having one big room, instead of two separate rooms where you don’t really talk to the other ppl in the bathroom and it’s kinda awkward…
