Gold????

Any one know the dates that gold is open? I know it opens later than and closes b4 commons. i loved gold it was much quieter than commons.

Sometime around the 1st full week of June. I think it was like June 8 last year. Basically whenever commons starts to fill up they start opening other buildings.

Its not really as bad as everybody makes it out to be is it?? I mean,I can deal with rustic old buildings and no a/c (I'll bring a fan,lol).

No, it's definitely not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I'm not sure if you read this, it's something I posted earlier about Golds, I'll paste it in:

"Also, to those wanting to live on point...the on point dorms really aren't that bad. I lived in Golds my first year, because I didn't have a car/didn't want to take the bus all the time, and it was more convenient. It was nice only having 1 other roommate (although, I know there are some 3 people rooms). The rooms are a bit smaller than Commons, and you don't get a locker, plus the description of it being "rustic" is relatively accurate...but, I'd live there again. It's nice waking up a little bit before work and just walking."

Also, make sure you have a fan, like you said...it does get hot. Or, if you wanted an air conditioner, you could buy a small one and have it installed by maintenance (for a fee). They also charge you for the electricity for it (at a set rate...I'm not sure what it is, but, it's very small).

It truly is kind of peaceful living on point. It's a lot quieter, and definitely a lot better on the 4th of July, haha. Plus, it's nice waking up on a day off and walking to Soak City, or just walking into the park.

Yeah,I think I like the advantages that come with living on point better.Less hassle than the off point housing sounds like.That and its my first year there,and I'm really not a big party animal.

Chelsea needs a roomie though....

Any one know aprox when gold closes? I would not like moving from commons or bayside to gold then to move back for a week or 2

On point dorms usually close around Labor Day. I suspect if they are "fully staffed" this summer the on point dorms will probably open earlier and close later than usual.

Thanks all

I stayed in Cedars my first year at Point and I thought it was not that bad, I brought my own AC and had it installed, I was close to the park considering I did not have a car. Cedars had the store like Commons and had laundry. to be honest I think I had more room in Cedars then in the 1400s
