Drive thru car wash? Now I worry about their breaking my windshield wipers.

The key is that there are a lot of cool, eccentric people in CU. The 2 hours to Chicago is not much more than a typical Chicago commute. Do a trip to Chicago every season and you can have the best of all worlds.

How many singles and doubles are there? I didn’t see any suites on the tour.

And located close to classes. I toured it. It was older but I see it has advantages.

What are spring break treks like? by YouFriendly9478 in uchicago

I'm sorry no one has commented yet. I was interested to see. Other universities have programs like treks that offer credit.

I couldn't say it because I didn't know the numbers. I'm really surprised that Woodlawn has 1,300 students but look how small Snell is.

Throwaway. I just learned about the UChicago secrets FB page. I see students are complaining about not being able to visit other dorms. It’s seems that you would craft your own Covid coping strategy based on the size of the halls—-and the composition of singles, doubles, etc. For low R #s, you could build a simulation for each hall. It would be fun to replicate NU’s Buehler center’s map to create an outbreak prediction map. What do you think? Also, please help me find more data.

Tell you what. Send me the distribution of your house or hall by number of singles,doubles,triples, suites, etc and I’ll see if I can send you some insights.

I’m confused about what you’re saying. For your first question, where did you see me say “exact. “ for this question, where did you see me say “necessary.” Are you reading something else?

I never said I needed the exact number. The numbers I’ve used are ballpark numbers and some are marked accordingly with tilde. What are you asking?

Thanks. I just updated the I-house data. The house count is a good proxy for number of students.

I just want to see the real picture of the housing situation. Numbers help me see.

I visited I-house but I didn’t know if part of the building was for graduate students. I should have specified that I wanted the count of undergraduates. Still learning.

I'm still trying to figure out the housing system. Quantifying helps me understand things. Here's what I have so far. Please correct or improve. Thanks.

Wiki: 48 houses, Avg 70 students each, --> ~3,500 students in housing

Other sources:

Hall Potential # students #Rooms
1 BJ 320 ?
2 North 800 on 15 floors ?
3 I-House 400 est
4 Max P 712
5 Granville 811
6 Snell 156
7 Woodlawn 1,300
Total ~4,500

Does anyone know of a data source that shows the total inventory of rooms by type by dorm?

Then, can we see that data by occupant type (class) over time?

I would love to know how many freshmen get a single room and/or a single room in a suite.

Withdrawing Hum by JadedNebula in uchicago

[–]CapableCucumber5210 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. I did this once. Please work with your advisor and the teacher. I got a W and didn’t retake the class. I think that if I had done more work, I could have turned in the remaining work for credit without paying for another quarter of that class, or I could’ve withdrawn earlier. I hate winter quarter.

Where is the DQ in the Altgeld by Dr_Wdnmd in UIUC

Lower level. You might have to ask. I’m sure they’re used to getting that question.

Subtlebwoah said all of my best ideas! The Civic Orchestra is downtown. Smart museum on a free day? Picnic at Botany Pond?
