The experience of living in a quad or a suite in college can be quite different from the typical experience of living in a double. You now have three roommates and a lot more space, which will lead to amazing memories. Here are a few things most college students who live in a quad know to be true:
1. You will never feel lonely
With four people living in the same place it is hard to go a full hour without someone talking to you. You also have a choice of three people who will always be there to listen to you.
2. You don’t have to leave your room to socialize
Having a living room is a big advantage when it comes to socializing. Friends can constantly come over and hang out on the couch for hours. You can also throw parties or social gatherings without worrying about anyone touching the stuff in your room.
3. You become very open about your bowel movement
Sharing a bathroom also means knowing how much time everyone spends in there and how their stomachs are feeling. The living space becomes the place where everyone is free to do whatever they want, including farting and burping, and roommates all end up accepting that.
4. Holidays are always fun
When there is no schoolwork to do, the best way to spend your day is hanging around and watching movies with your roommates.
5. There is always a mom of the group
One of the roommates is always the responsible one who can’t stand it if the place is a mess, and who is always the best at planning things, allowing the other roommates to be their crazy, messy selves.
6. It prepares you for when you get your own place
In many ways, a quad is like an apartment. There is a living room, bedrooms, and a bathroom, all of which have to be kept clean. There are several responsibilities that come with living in a quad, the same responsibilities you will have when you get your own apartment some day.
7. You learn more gossip
Roommates don’t always hang out with the same people, so when it comes to sharing gossip, there is so much more to share! More sources, more information!
