so I just reviewed a letter I had sent to Eileen the head of housing and it seems i DID fill out a preference form as she states in the letter...I'm losing it, I think! lol I posted the email she sent me as a reference for what's next and some onfo about the rooms at 10 Lincoln for those interested.
Good Morning Suzanne,
Thank you for contacting me with your request about Lincoln Square. I apologize for my delay in responding, I was frequently out of the office last week. Unfortunately, I do not have room dimensions available for the 10 Lincoln Square rooms, but I can tell you that this building was formerly a Crowne Plaza hotel, and the residence hall area is very similar to that of a hotel (long hallways with rooms off of the hallway). These rooms have either two full sized beds, one full sized bed, or one king sized bed, so there is quite a bit of space in the room itself. All rooms are single occupancy unless you have specifically requested a roommate (who has also listed your name on their preference form), so even if you were to have a room with two beds, it would still be single occupancy. When Rachel Newman, our Residence Life Coordinator, has placed you in your housing assignment, she will let you know if you are in Lincoln Square ,and how many beds/what size bed you will have in your space.
On the preference form, you saw that there are options for "standard" or "renovated" Lincoln Square rooms. These rooms are the same size and have the same basic furniture/amenities (bed, dresser, nightstands, armchair, desk), but the renovated rooms have slightly more updated wallpaper, carpet, artwork, and furniture. The primary colors for renovated rooms are dark brown, beige, and dark red with tan embellishments. Our standard rooms are also very popular with students and cost slightly less than the renovated rooms. The primary colors for these rooms are dark blue and white with light blue accents. Both standard and renovated rooms have individual bathrooms in each room with a bathtub shower, vanity, and toilet. All Lincoln Square rooms currently come equipped with an iron/ironing board, hair dryer, and a microfridge, which is a combination of a small refrigerator and a microwave.
Congratulations on your decision to join us here at MCPHS! If there is any other information that you would like, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Eileen McNamara
Residence Director for the Lincoln Square Academic and Student Center
