2008 New Employees

Those aren't the actual prices though, I remember only getting charged $20 and some for a room in Commons Dorms.

I've never lived in housing so I don't have any first hand experience. I just figured what was listed on the Cedar Point website would be accurate. I guess not.

Do the dorms have WIFI?

No

Depending on how much my paycheck was, they charged me more or less at Commons dorms. When I had a larger check they charged 31.20 a week, but when it was smaller they charged less.

I believe it depends a lot on how often you enter housing. I think swiping your card does more than just confirm your employment. But I may be wrong.

It is based on the # of hours you work. Not how often you enter housing..

Thats odd, because I had around 81 hours one week and was still only charged $20.50.

There is a cap... it's not like if you work 81 hours you get charged by the hours..

There is a certain "You work this many hours you pay the full price and any hours over don't matter" point.. If that makes sense..

At least that's the way it was explained to me a few years ago..

I always found the housing deduction to be $32 for me no matter how many hours I worked. This whole "based on hours worked" is news to me. And that's even with 4, and then 3 people in the room.

.. again .. this was years ago..

It doesn't matter how many people is in a room..lol That and it depends which housing area you stay/live at. Commons dorms are (were) the highest because they were/are the newest.

The hours thing, if you work zero hours they don't deduct anything for housing. Why charge you if you weren't there working. After Labor Day it's free (or atleast in the past it was).

They also lowered the prices except for Bayside and Commons Apt. are still the same. On point was $18 and Commons Dorms were $35.

so where do you guys think is the best place to stay? I mean in the aspects of how nice it is..not based on location, etc.

Commons dorms are best, in my opinion. The apartments are just plain...nasty, and have too many people for me. The dorms are okay,especially if you're already used to dorm living. I'm pretty partial to 1500s dorms myself ;)

15212, baby! :)

Shawn, I know you read these forums, so congrats! :) I will definitely miss Chris, though I hope he enjoys Hard Rock.

Thanks Michael. I will miss Chris too for sure! Hey, are you planning on returning next season?

Oh yeah, most definitely. I'm hoping that my interview for a tech/stage manager went well enough that I'll land a Live E spot. But should that fail, I'll be back in rides.

You know you had way too much fun in rides to pass it up lol.

I heard that the spiders are bad at the dorms. Is this true?

Not sure about Commons or Bayside, but surprisingly there were very few bugs at Cedars. Only time they were a problem is when the light is on and the window is open.

I never had a probem with spiders at commons either
