I lived in the dorms at Chapman for two years. My first year, I lived in the freshman dorm, Pralle-Sodaro Hall with one roommate. My second year, I lived in the Glass apartments with three other girls. In Pralle, I felt like I had enough room. The room was not a bad size, and we shared a bathroom with two girls next door to us. I felt like I had my own space in this room. I know that this year, the Pralle rooms are triples, meaning that three students are in every room. This seems like it would be very cramped, and I am glad I never had to experience this. I enjoyed my freshman living situation, except it felt rather closed off. We were not allowed to prop our doors, and therefore I never got too close with my neighbors or the people on my floor. My RA did not do a very good job of bonding our floor, and I wish I would have been able to make more friends this way. When I lived in Glass, I had the time of my life. I shared a smaller room with one girl, which connected to a living room, kitchen, and another small room shared by two others. I loved having a living room I could escape to, and living with three others was a lot of fun. I have very few complaints about this year.
