<p>I’m living in Grad Center next year with apparently 4 other roommates and am wondering what the living situation is like?</p>
<p>I believe it is a suite/apartment style, but does that mean it has a main common room with 5 separate singles or something?</p>
<p>Would you say the overall ambience of the building is good or bad?</p>
<p>If anyone has any insight into this situation, I would greatly appreciate your help.</p>
<p>5 singles off of a small hallway with a bathroom with 1 shower, 2 stalls, and 2 sinks.</p>
<p>The rooms are decent sized, the bathroom is pretty nice, but there is very little social interaction between suites and the place definitely feels a bit dead.</p>
<p>An unofficial student poll garnered the Grad Center dorms a “C-4” rating.</p>
<p>I’m assuming thats bad?</p>
<p>dRho, I’m also living in Grad Center next year, and I, for one, am very excited. The rooms are pretty big for singles- bigger than ones in New Dorm (or so I hear). I’m happy to have a single and still live really close to 5 friends (I got one of those 6 people suites), and even if they’re not you’re friends, there’s a good chance that you will be. </p>
<p>The only thing I’m afraid of is the problem with sound going up and down the building - I heard it was really bad. You can hear almost nothing horizontally, but vertically, you can hear doors closing, drawers opening, and people walking… And they don’t clean bathrooms for us anymore, but that’s a luxury I can live without.</p>
<p>liveable, but they are dorms, ya?</p>
<p>gradcenter, oh how i adore thee.
too bad, 2009 housing lottery robbed me
of our potential connection
a large single gives me a fatal erection
small correction
grad center is a rad center.
you can workout below in a lair
you can have a single, have sex, your roomies will not care,
but you can not play music real loud only if you dare</p>
