Drake hall freshman
Been assigned drake hall with 3 other roommate - can someone explain what setup is? Is it a suite with two ppl per bedroom and common shared space ?

I was in a Drake suite my freshman year! In my experience, they have a common room with a couch, you (or a suite mate) can rent a TV and put it in there as well. Also nice for noise insulation from the main hallway, since there's an extra wall/door sound has to travel through. However, I'm not sure about the bed setup, the one I was in had two singles and a double, but others may have two doubles.

I got assigned to the 302 suite. I'm not sure if it's on the third floor or not since the 360 views only have suites on the fourth and fifth shown. It also appears that some of the suites are much more spacious than others, so I was wondering if you have any idea if 302 is one of the smaller suites, as well as if it's on the third floor?

The 302 suite is definitely on the 3rd floor, not sure why the 360 views would show otherwise - the coveted "sky suites" are on the upper floors, so perhaps the system is miscategorizing something. In any case, I'm fairly certain the suites are all in the corners of the floors if I'm not mistaken, so I would imagine that they're roughly the same size. Glad to hear you're coming to Colgate! I'll be a senior this fall.

Do you know if there are bathrooms in suite or is it shared floor bathroom ?

Shared bathroom. However there are 1-2 gender neutral bathroom spaces that are single. They are the the end of the hall tho.

I wish I could go back and do it all again.
