This September I'll be in Whidden for my third time! I CHOSE Whidden TWICE. While all residences are wonderful in their own way, Whidden makes my heart flutter.

whidden is known for its wildness and epic parties that end up with either CAs or EFFRT team knocking your door.. trust me I have a lot of second hand experience...
By all means, have fun, but make sure you do study and not get entangled in all the parties and occasional absurdness that happens on your to-be-floor.
have a good summer and a good forthcoming school year!  |

Man!!! I really do miss Whidden. I miss living on the ceiling and my crib!!!
Do not be discouraged if you are assigned to a Whidden triple and did not put either of these things on your residence app. The disappointment is soon washed away by CRAZY TIMES! I also heard the Whidden triples are the biggest triples on campus... you get used to the size really quickly in any case.

YOU'RE IN MY OLD ROOM! BAHAHA.
And you're in a corner triple, which is larger than some of the others.

Transformers is, to put it bluntly, the shit 
So that's exciting lol.
And yay for inheriting your old room. How much bigger are the corner rooms? lol.
I want some pics...especially of that sick balcony the corners supposedly have.
