Correction

That's Bates/Keyes vs. Every other res.



I got Bates first year. It was awesome, but chances are you'll meet a lot less people than if you were in a res with a common room.

I also wanted to live in Les Prince... Yes you still had a roommate and you have to share the room but you get your own washroom.

If you're in first year Traditional is a much better social experience than Suite/Apartment; if you're in upper years, the quite and privacy of Apartment/Suite trump getting to know people and having a tight floor community.

Having a kitchen is important to me, so I like Keyes/Bates. I currently live in Keyes.

Or you could get an apartment and have your own kitchen, bathroom, living room with room for your desk+bed+other stuff and a balcony... for basically the same price (if not less, as is my case).

Just a matter of knowing where/how to look.

Yeah, residence is just not enough for too much (money, that is)

Any suggestions for that last bit? I need to find a better place to move into next year. Starting (somewhat) early. :'D
