@CC '14 Bwog,
Would you post something explaining how “Open Housing” works? How do I sign up for it?
@EFG Yeah I lived in Wien last year it was pretty good overall.
Personal sink = pisser without having to go anywhere.
@that's nasty
@CC'13 wien gets an unfairly bad rap…it’s actually been renovated a fair bit (the bathrooms are amazing), and the only bad things i can say for it really is you have to share a kitchen and it can be pretty quiet. on the whole, decent place to have a single!
@Wienermaster I’m not ashamed to say that I like Wien a lot, but one other drawback is the fact that you can hear basically everything in the hallway from your room and everything in peoples’ rooms from the hallway. For the most part, noise from adjacent rooms is pretty muted. Also, minimal control over heating leads to quite a few heater blasting/window wide open winter days so as to make your room comfortably balanced.
@i like your name.
@Anonymous Hey BWOG can you do this for Barnard?
@Anonymous Don’t misinterpret my downvote. It’s not because you’re from Barnard, although I especially dislike your peers’ insistence that they go to Columbia, but it’s because you called Bwog BWOG.
@my down vote is because you go to Barnard.
