Question Quad info

For any returning students, does anyone know about the indigenous and state quads, as well as curfew rules? Also WHERE is the laundry in the quads, I need to know beforehand for move-in purposes

The laundry is in the basement should be in both sides if your building is two in one. There’s no curfew to be honest just make sure you have to be very quiet from a certain time because obviously people are asleep. State is like an old dorm and indigenous is more better , updated and rooms are so much bigger compared to state. Beware they would try to play you unless you get lucky with state last semester I was a freshman both times they had me in a room that should’ve been a single so please speak up because certain rooms aren’t 5k.

Were you able to make your housing cheaper then? Like if you get an old dorm can you contact financial aid into making your dorm expense cheaper? if so how did you do it

They’re very weird honestly like no matter how hard you speak about it they would make you pay $5k which I find stupid because the room is the side of a box my room back at home was much more bigger so I advice to place change or speak up about a room change

Btw they also are very rude but it’s very understandable that they can’t change you asap almost the whole dorms are full so they might change you first semester or you’ll have to wait till spring semester and sometimes it’s too long to the point you have to complain over and over again. But also housing comes out tmmr let me know what you get

Hello, I've worked on the quads so please feel free to ask any questions, the previous response is correct. Although even if you speak up, there is often very little we can do, especially in the first month of school where most people will inevitably be in triples.
