So, I was filling out my housing application late at night and I didn't put much thought to it and my second choice is Unit 3 triples. Can anybody tell me waht to expect? Any horror stories with or advice about living in a triple?

I am a prospective student just like you, but I have heard horror stories about triples wherein two people knew each other and the third, who neither of them knew, was consistently left out of everything from conversations, to movie-goings, to plain old recreational sports.

Horror story at its worst.

Personally, I wouldn't want to live in a triple, but I too put it down as a second choice for Foothill, however. Except I know a person from my school who is going, and we too signed up to be roomed together. So if anyone is doing the leaving out, it's going to be us.

Of course, we're not that mean.

I desperately want Foothill, but I didn't sign up for a triple. I did:

1. Foothill Double
2. Foothill Quad
3. Bowles Double
4. Unit 1 Double (Substance Free)
5. Unit 1 Double

I did... hmmm... i think i remember

1. Clark Kerr Double Suite (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAAASSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!)
2. Clark Kerr Double
3. Clark Kerr Triple
4. Unit 3 Double
5. Foothill Double

I'm hoping whoever does the housing will think "hmmm... she has a lot for clark kerr ... she must REALLY want that place."

Hey Jon,

Do your roomates and you get along equally well? What I am trying to find out is, in riples, do two of the roomates end up being good friends and excludin the other one? Also, is it messier. 3 guys in one room, sounds scary to me.

I have a question about triples in CKC. I snuck in and saw one and all the three beds were on separate walls. But online it shows a bunkbed and a single.

... SO WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!?
And if there is a bunkbed, can you take it down and make 2 separate beds?
