Life in a JP Pod
We are in what is called a "pod" in Juniper Poplar. The pod is the living room/common area that is right outside each dorm room. As you can tell, pod life leads to making friends much easier and quicker than if you don't have a well used common space. It's also really helpful for when you're doing homework and if you need to ask someone for help. The biggest drawback of living in a pod-style dorm such as JP is that if you're a light sleeper, it can get really loud when people stay up late. my room was right where I was filming and I had to sleep with headphones in every night to drown out the people in the pod. If you're a light sleeper, I suggest a room closer to the staircase or to the entrance to the pod.
