    Housing next year

    Hey! So did you guys that are for sure coming to Butler already turn in your housing info? Ask any questions to current students here (dorms, the closet size, what to bring, etc.) OR just tell us where you're living and share your res hall pride. (GO SCHWITZ! haha)

    I sent mine in a few weeks ago. Why exactly can't we bring microwaves? lol I know there are ones in every hall, but I still want to bring one!

    There have been issues in the past with the microwaves. (Especially when I was a student here!!) Fire alarms are the number one reason, at least in my opinion. They are such a pain, and I wouldn't want to imagine what that would be like if people could actually have them in their rooms....yikes...

    Re: Housing next year

    So I received my housing papers to fill out today and I am still debating what residence hall to put for my number one choice-

    Ross or Schwitzer?

    My main point for the debating- I don't think I could live with all girls... all the time.... what do you suggest ? Confused

    Welllll... you're going to be living with all girls either way.  Even in Ross, all the girls are together on one separate floor.  The only difference is that in Ross there are guys on the floors below you, and it's going to be rowdier down there on the weekends and whatnot.  My philosophy was always "Hang out and have fun at Ross... come back to Schwitzer for a quiet place to sleep."  I didn't want to have to put up with the loudness and messiness of boys in my building.  That said, Ross is very fun and my best friend is going to be a Ross RA next year and she's the COOLEST! : )  Oh, I guess the only other difference is location... if you live in Schwitz you are closer to dinner, Starbucks, and most classes (you can get to classes in Jordan Hall in literally about 60 seconds.  I might know this from experience haha.  Ross is closer to the library and kind of to Lilly Hall, but otherwise I think Schwitzer's location is better. 

     I don't really think you can go wrong, though.  I think Ross is more like the movie-version of college where there are guys playing golf in the hall at 3 am whereas Schwitzer is a little more chill, but a really great living situation every day of the week where there are always lots of people around up and people are very friendly.  If you have any more specific questions, let me know!
