I just got assigned a Woodlawn single, and it looks great! Thanks for posting this video. I wanted to ask - are the dressers under the bed and the shelves at the foot of the bed included with the room, or did you buy them separately?
Hi! Great video. Did you use a mattress bridge between the two twin xl mattresses or did you use a king mattress topper? Dis you use a Queen or king comforter? Thanks! Go Maroons!
I did in fact use a 3” memory foam topper, no bridge. I also went with the king comforter- I don’t know if they’re doing very many dingles this year, but if you were lucky enough to not get a roommate immediately, I’m definitely jealous.
Hey girl! I just got accepted (and just posted my reaction vid haha) but I was wondering how much it is to rent a fridge a microwave a quarter if you remember?
I just looked it up online at Bedloft (where people rent out of) - it said that for one semester (... so the rest of the year?) it's $169 for both. I guess you could expect it's a bit more for the whole year.
@@ReeseKlemm I just read that we can only use a Micro-Fridge and can't have both? Do you know anything about that? I was just placed into Yovovitch House in Woodlawn and am going to start shopping soon.
The university has sort-of given up on this idea, but we now have "sister houses." This means that every house in Woodlawn is funnel from six or so other houses. As an example, theoretically, because I was in Thompson House last year, the only Woodlawn house that I could move into was Han. Otherwise, houses are pretty much the exact same this year.
I believe the west side has 16 and the east side has something like 8 or 9. And yes, you can eat wherever you want (usually whatever is closest, so, in my case, Woodlawn Dining)
@@ReeseKlemm thank you! I thought you might be only tied to the dining at Woodlawn since you live at Woodlawn. So you can get scooped ice cream from Cathy dining if you really like even if you live at Woodlawn, right?
They do! A turning handle-thing lets the bottom swing open maybe 8 inches. There’s also a screen so bugs don’t come in. Otherwise, the AC is pretty decent.
Thank you so much for posting this! Very useful.

@@ReeseKlemm hard to believe but based on my son’s assignment and the maps from the parent group on Facebook, it looks that way!
Does Woodlawn have a free communal kitchen or do you have to rent/buy kitchen equipment?
Love the energy of this video!!
YAA!
Thank u very much for this detailed video!
You're very welcome! I hope it was helpful!

Hi! How big were the storage units for the under bed shelves? I'm moving in soon and want to buy some before :)
Heyyy - I’m not exactly sure how tall it goes to, but i would probs do stackable bins to about hip height
Yall U Chicago students making me break the word limit on the why U Chicago essay.
How different is the house system compared to before now?

How many floors are in Woodlawn?
Also, can student at UChicago eat at different dining halls or only those specific to the assigned dorm?

thanks for posting this :) wondering if the windows open in any capacity?
