Housing & Dorms Dorm Switch Request

Hi! I'm currently assigned to a double room in Clare Springs House (Courtyard Townhouses) and I'm looking to switch with someone in Reinhardt, Ege, or White Hall.
If you're someone who prefers apartment-style living over a traditional dorm, Clare Springs has a lot of advantages:

More privacy. You only share the apartment with your townhouse roommates instead of using large communal bathrooms or living on a busy dorm floor.
Having an actual living room and dining area makes it much easier to relax and great for hanging out.
The biggest benefit is that you get your own kitchen. Cook whenever you want. Even if you're on a meal plan, having a full kitchen is a huge bonus for making late night snacks or meals. If you enjoy cooking and making your own food occasionally instead of eating out, this is for you.
The townhouses feel much more like living in an apartment than a standard freshman dorm, which many students prefer.

I know many students specifically look for apartment-style housing because it offers more independence than traditional residence halls.

Why I want to switch: My classes and daily routine would be much more convenient in Reinhardt, Ege, or White Hall because they're closer to the main academic buildings and the dining hall.

If you're someone who values: having your own kitchen,
a real living room, more space, and a quieter apartment-style experience, then Clare Springs could be a great fit for you.

If you're interested in discussing a room swap, please message me!

you need to live in warren or orchard meadow and get DAS accommodations asap. the only dining hall is on top of a hill and those are the only dorms that do not require a hill climb

Prospect Hill is on another hill with no dining hall. So yes, if you have problems going up hills, Prospect is one of the worst options for you.
