Housing question
I’m really torn on whether I should try to switch my housing assignment. Right now I’m assigned to an Alumni Hall quad, but I’m wondering if I should switch to a double instead.
The biggest thing making me question it is the price. The quad is about $2.5k more per semester, and I’m already planning on getting the most expensive meal plan to cut grocery costs. so I’d be paying extra for a kitchen I probably won’t use.
The double is appealing because it’s cheaper, has a bigger closet, and is more likely to be on a lower floor. The downside is that it doesn’t have AC, and I’d probably have to leave my current roommates and end up with someone random.
The Alumni quad comes with a private bathroom, but it has a smaller closet, it’s on a higher floor, and costs a lot more.
Right now I’m thinking my best option might be to stay in the quad for the first semester and see if I can switch to a double for the second if I feel it’s not worth the extra cost.
For anyone who’s lived in either, especially Alumni Hall, would you stick with the quad or save the money and go with the double? Do you regret your decision?
