Housing debate.
Alright...I'm trying to figure this out, and I'm sure you guys are too. So, let's start a housing debate. The pros and cons of Freshman vs. Four Year Traditional vs. Co-op. If you want to send some people from
oberlin over here, they'd probably be helpful.
I'll start.
Freshman
+ pros: Everyone is looking to be friends. Everyone is new and confused, so you won't feel left out and you can figure it out together. More activities and mixer type stuff to ease into the friend-making process.
+ cons: Freshman can be annoying. If everyone is confused, who will know what to do? Less interaction with more knowledgable and useful upperclassmen.
Traditional all years:
+ pros: Interaction with all years, more diverse intellectual atmosphere. People can be helpful. Less noise, less forced friend-making.
+ cons: People already have friends and may not be looking for more to add to their crew. Or, you could make friends with older kids and be very sad to see them go.
Co-op
+ Pros: Community feeling
+ Cons: May be too much work, hard to keep up during transitional year.
What do ya'll think?
I feel like I'm just passing time this semester, waiting anxiously to finally be at Oberlin!!
