I coulllld. But what would be the fun in that? Next time I leave the building I'll take that route out.

I know that on my floor, the room that is directly above his is 321... I assume it would be the same on the first floor.

So how does a two person room at bates work out? Is it still appartment style or is it like a traditional room?

yevenbother, for future posts don't use a font that is so light, it's hard to read!

but to answer your question...it's a little bit of both. They aren't very common (twelve or less for the entire building). From what I understand, you are in an apartment room, but two people share the same bedroom. So it has components of both traditional and apartment/suite style

Bates
I heard bates and mary keyes are boring, non-party residances, is this true?

There are parties in every residence building. You just need to know how and when to find them.

Be sure to check out the forum thread where users are posting their residence choices, you can get an idea of what people's picks are, and why!

Well, Keyes and Bates from what I know consist of mainly upper years opposed to first years. Also, each person has their own room within the apartment making it more difficult to meet people in those residences. Thus, on average people don't really party in Bates or Keyes.
