Opening Date

Does anyone know the exact date that the Gold dorms will open?  Do they open the same day as the Park? 

Thanks!

Gold will be open for the "big rush." That's the weekend that all of the students pack in after finals. Last year it was open by the time that I got there which was the last weekend in April, so I assume that it'll be open then too since they have to have on point housing for cleaning week.

Good argument. Its old and broken down. But the convenince is nice, and I have never lived there so I dunno. Commons is right across the street from louies if that is your sort of thing. It can be fun at times.

I adree with Adam. Don't live in Gold if you can help it. The convience is one thing, but its really hard to "just get away" on your days off when you live in the park. It's the spiders and the conditions that have me not going back. Naw, I'm going to try Commens.

I appreciate all of your opinions about Gold - I've heard more than enough stories to gather that it is not exactly paradise! I've been inside Cedars though, and didn't think it was THAT bad.  Small, yes.(The first time I visited somebody at Cedars, I stepped into their room and literally thought it was just the closet).  I'm mainly looking to live on-point this season to avoid getting 'distracted' - last year I lived in Bayside, and the group of friends I had were very much into partying (well, who at Cedar Point isn't? ;o) and it seemed that despite myself, I was out until 2 or 3 most nights...plus there were some extra people who decided to move into my apartment, I didn't really mind, I just moved into somebody else's apartment, which made it a whole lot harder to ever get sleep.  Plus I had to wake up at 6:30 at the absolute latest in order to get to work on time...some mornings I swear I was physically unable to wake up.  Well, I'm sure nobody wants to hear my CP sob story, so my point is just that I wanted to live in Gold this time around for the convienience and hopefully being further away from the clubs will contribute to more hours of sleep (out of sight, out of mind, or at least I'm hoping...) Also it always seemed like when I was done with my shift, I had to wait an hour for the shuttle or else wait an hour for somebody with a car and the seven other people the Person With A Car was riding home to be ready to go...regardless of the conditions, it sounds like paradise to me to be able to just go and collapse into bed as soon as I'm done working!

I have just one more question about the rooms in Gold - how many electrical outlets does each room have?

Okay, two questions - what exactly does "Community Style" bathrooms mean?  Are there enough showers for everyone or do you usually have to wait in a line to take a shower? 

Thanks very much to anyone who responds - I hope everyone working at CP this season has a great time :)

two outlets and there are six showers on the floor and I never ahd a problem getting one and neither did my three roomates soo.. it shouldnt be a problem
I personally love gold cus on split shifts you get the most sleep time possible and on days when you cant drive your car in you dont have to get up any earlier to get to work last year i would role out of bed at 9am and be at DT by 9:15 when we had to be there! Plus wardrobe is on your way and so is the cafe so i think Gold is a great choice for those of us who are lazy and dont wanna wake up any earlier than we have to!

I like living in Gold (for the the month I lived there) for the convience. I probably would have stayed too if it wasn't for the osycho roommate I had. But then again it was very boring after the park was closed. And there is only so much you can do at Cedars. So if you're looking for more of a social setting to balance out the work portion of life, then stay in off point housing.
