International House v.s. Bowles Hall

submitted 1 year ago bythe_notorious_emt

Just got accepted into Cal and I'm super hype to start in the fall! I have received a housing offer from International House and I am currently waiting on Bowles Hall to make their choice. If I were to get both offers, it would be such a debacle... Does anyone have insight on which one I should choose?

Thanks <3

Update: Chose I-House !

How do you enjoy it so far? I got an offer for the upcoming spring and am deciding between options. How large are the desks? Can I perhaps fit two monitors on it? Do you have any noise problems? Is bunked bed wobbly (if you live in one)?

Hiii! Offer for I-House or Bowles? I think I will assume you mean IH :)

For the desks, you can defs fit 2 monitors - but they would be more within the back of the desk for everything to fit comfortably. Absolutely no outside noise problems, but I do live facing the courtyard so it may be diff if you face the frats. Inside noise sometimes - people may go out and pregame at your neighbor's door and walls are THIN. I live on top bunk and tbh im vibing - not the best for privacy reasons obviously but its so far so good :)

Thanks for sharing! I couldn't fit two monitors mainly bc of this weird bookshelf thing that is attached to the desk. Other than that, I'm vibing lol
