Also, there is an option for a quad room, does this mean that there are 4 people living in the same room or 4 different rooms?
P.S. Can you share your experiences at the residence, How was it like?
Thank you so much |
double room, or triple room, or quad room...all mean that all the people live in the SAME room. From personal stories i've heard from some friends, I'd say avoid this. for example, in a double room, you'll have one room with no walls in it, that contains two single beds, two desks etc. (two of everything). I think the situation gets trickier with quad rooms, where you may have bunk beds?! not too sure how that works.
I was in a double room with no washroom, not my ideal choice, in fact, not even listed in my top 5 choices, but it ended up working out. I got Hedden Hall, which is a nice, modernish buildings with personal "you-can-lock-behind-you" washrooms. I know some residences have giant, public washrooms. My Roommate was a nice guy, not like we became best friends or anything, but we didn't give each other trouble, which worked out. I know some people become very tight with their roommate. Others not so much, gets trickier in a triple or quad situation, where you may have to accommodate more people and personalities.
There are lots of parties in residence, especially on the weekends and sometimes thursday, there are also organized events by your floor CAs or for the whole building, I personally didn't get involved (not the partying type), but if you are the partying type, residence will work out nicely.
If you're looking for 4 to 6 people, each with their own room, but each sharing a larger living space together, so they're "technically" roommates, you're looking for a suite or an apartment, keep cost in mind though cause those are more expensive.
That's about it... i think.
