[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP— my upperclassman is going to be in Pine next year in the “Global Village” aka, they are housing all the modern language hoses together on Pine 4th floor. I believe floors 1-2 of Pine are freshman, 3 is upperclassmen and 4 is Global Village.

Here’s what she knows aboutPine— 4 dorms and a new Food Court and they all have tree names so students are calling the complex “the Forest”. That’s pretty much it.

No one has been in these dorms yet, so not other insights.  The description does say single use bathrooms like Lemon/ Hardy and the new “Cedar” dorm. That’s also the set up in current language housing and she really likes it. Rather than the mass of stalls and showers in large bathrooms, it is a bunch of single use bathrooms, some with just toilets, and some that also have showers. So, a lot more privacy.

She was in Reves freshman year. Small dorm and it went fast (but before the construction boom, many freshman dorms didn’t have AC, which Reves did). She had a really high housing number and could have gotten a Lemon single, and snagged the last Reves room with her roommate. She liked the smaller atmosphere. Some kids would want a bigger, more. bustling dorm.

For the last couple years, most juniors and seniors have had to live off campus.  During housing selection  this year, with all the new dorms coming on line, there were spots for any upperclassman that wanted one. Traditionally, more kids have chosen to stay on campus than at other, larger schools. The last 2 years with construction, they’ve had to move off.   I would imagine that with so many new dorms, they will get back to more upperclassmen living on campus— especially because off campus housing near campus has been expensive and hard to find.

They've also added a lot of off campus beds in the last year which has bumped up availability a ton. I think there are still a lot of people who prefer all of the benefits of living off campus [/quote]
