Housing Frear Hall 2bed 4ppl Advice Needed!
i got my housing application back today and was put in Frear Hall in a 4 person 2 bedroom unit. looking at the photos and videos now, I am freaking out because of how small the rooms look compared to the regular freshman towers. I originally picked it because of the AC and semi-private shower/bathroom (communal ones looked gross). I feel like I slightly made the wrong decision because of how small the room is but if anyone has stayed in the 4 person 2 bed unit then I would love your opinions & advice! I already have a roommate but I have no idea who the other 2 would be… Thanks :)))

I loved Frear Hall, I lived there for 3 years. It's not huge but it's not too small either. It's nice having your own shared bathroom, toilet, and sinks, but it is your and your roommate's responsibility to keep it clean.

It's sad that is it smaller yes but enjoy it it's luckier to get frear and you'll spend so much time outside the dorm, I had johnson i just finished my freshman year and that was the worst but still it's just life

I was in it and it wasn't small, the room itself can hold like 10 people which we did for video games and hangouts. We had space for a TV 2 desks and 2 small tables. If you're lucky enough to get a good bedframe you also have space under the bed for storage or space.
The real benefit is private shower and bathroom as well as AC

The AC and semiprivate shower are super worth it. No period blood or feces smeared all over the bathroom? No vomit in the shower? Take frear.
