Ross and Atwater filled all “8-10 beds for seniors who wish to give back to the commons.” Cook, Wonnacott, and Brainerd manage to fill a whopping zero beds. But beds aside, the upperclassmen connection to the Commons is really what’s important if the four in four/two is to work. Unfortunately, the senior housing disparity has reared its ugly head and three commons are left with little connection to their upperclassmen who already are mostly absent.

While nothing can be done now, I recommend a revaluation of this aspect of housing next year because the idea is right but fine tuning is needed to make it work across commons. Congrats on the initial success of housing reform so far. Let’s hope the rest of Room Draw goes smoothly, and I look forward to seeing how new housing arrangements play out socially next year.

As far as dorm identities are concerned, Coffrin will likely remain a part of Atwater, while Le Chateau will be unaffiliated (though the lounges–like the Grand Salon–may be connected Atwater)
