Hi,<\/p>\n

I’ve spent wayy too much time today going through your archives.. makes for a good read for procrastinators.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I’ve been accepted at St. Mike’s college so I’m thoroughly confused about the residences. I’ve been through your blog and found no comparisons of the residences within St. Mike’s (so I’ve done my research) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I was wondering if you could give me a general response of the students staying at Loretto’s college vs. those staying at SMC? My parents say they’d be comfortable with me in Loretto’s for the first year, but I don’t want to miss out on the freshman fun and if coed > than loretto’s then I’d have to talk to them about reconsidering.<\/p>\n

Thank youu \ud83d\ude42

PK,<\/p>\n

I’ve actually answered this exact question<\/a> before and was met by this one totally awesome response.<\/p>\n

I’m hardly a pro on St. Mike’s residences and don’t know a lot of people who’ve lived in them so sorry, I can’t quite give you any accounts, but the general consensus seems to be that if you’re choosing between the those two…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Note: Kind thanks, @vikkitokkz, for your hilarious reply to my tweet.)<\/p>\n

Likewise, from my own experiences of visiting Loretto, it just wasn’t my favourite place. Very… long. Great bathrooms though! I actually quite liked the bathroom situation that went on there.<\/p>\n

But yeah, I say you should just go to St. Mike’s. If the problem for your parents is the whole co-ed thing<\/a>, just point out that while the res is co-ed, floors are single-sex, as are the shared bathrooms — meaning they can relax, there won’t be any hanky panky. Sort of. Whatever.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
