Outside of Plimpton, where you could end up!

Two out of three Barnard Housing Selection Days have passed, and only the class of 2020’s fates are still left undecided. Once again, Bwog is here with a thorough roundup of what went down on Tuesday, and to help the last struggling groups breathe a little more deeply.

620, 616, Cathedral Gardens, Sulz Tower: All completely gone, except for a few doubles in suites that you can pick into (two in 620 and eight in 616). Those last options will likely be gone soon as well – but hey, you still have two more years to try for these higher-end dorms.

110:

  • Currently remaining: A decent amount of suites are still left, although no studio doubles. Mostly four person suites left, but some for every group size but singles.
  • Bwog’s recommendation: If you don’t mind being far-ish from your friends in Plimpton and want to feel a little less attached to campus, go for it!
  • How long will this dorm last? Maybe an hour or two into the day, but it’ll go pretty fast once Plimpton fills up.

600:

  • Currently remaining: A lot of doubles in suites and one full, 6 person suite.
  • Bwog’s recommendation: If you’ve got the best lottery number, go for it, but otherwise, don’t even bother putting it on your list.
  • How long will this dorm last? 30 seconds.

Elliot:

  • Currently remaining: Plenty of doubles, but only doubles.
  • Bwog’s recommendation: The doubles in Elliot are pretty small, so unless you’re dying to guarantee living with a certain friend, probably not worth it.
  • How long will this dorm last? Probably for most of the day, because nobody really wants an Elliot Double.

Hewitt:

  • Currently remaining: A few doubles, and a lot of singles on every floor.
  • Bwog’s recommendation: It’s close to campus, but the meal plan is quite expensive. If you’re really craving a single, this could be an okay option.
  • How long will this dorm last? Not too long, as sophomores craving personal space will probably scoop it up pretty quickly.

Plimpton:

  • Currently remaining: 26 6-person suites, 10 doubles in suites, and 1 4-person suite.
  • Bwog’s recommendation: The quintessential sophomore dorm, the walk sucks but at least most of your friends will be there with you. Plus, you’ll finally get a kitchen and have a chance at getting a single!
  • How long will this dorm last? Not more than an hour or two into the day, because people are dying for a suite.
