[case western] freshmen housing dorm tour & tips! 

Hi!
I am back with another CWRU vlog with freshmen housing room tour!
During my freshmen year, I stayed at Taplin House, which is part of the Juniper residential community. Juniper is the only community that has new furniture (as of now) and a full kitchen. You can see the floor plans and more pictures of Taplin House here: case.edu/housi...
Tips: choosing rooms
- Choose the corner rooms, they are a bit bigger than other rooms on the same floor.
- Try to avoid the rooms in front of the common area, bathroom or the staircase if you don't want all of the noise.
(Luckily, my room was at the corner and away from everything, so it was very peaceful)
- Elevators are VERY slow and tiny, so I recommend staying on 2nd or 3rd floor. You are gonna get a good cardio if you stay on 4th floor. *For my year, Taplin's 1st and 4th floors were for males and 2nd and 3rd were for females.
Tips: what to bring/not to bring
- Unless you want to vacuum, don't bring a rug. It's a big hassle to clean it and pack it at the end of the school year. Wear a warm slipper instead and use a sweeper (wet).
- Bring a shower basket and a separate pair of shower slippers/flip-flops. You'll see why.
- You don't need to buy a microwave, b/c each floor has one in the common area. But buy a mini fridge!
How to be a good housemate
- PLEASE clean after yourselves, I have seen many ~things~ b/c people didn't clean after themselves haha.
- Try not to talk loudly/scream in the staircases, because it echoes like you are standing on top of a mountain.
- Set a timer when you are using the laundry machines. If you forget about it, people will take out your clothing and put it into a commons laundry basket. If you don't want others touching your things, be there a minute earlier before your laundry finishes.
Hope you guys have a happy and safe freshmen year! Leave comments or dm me if you want to know more :)
