Shell vs. McTaggart/Cowan residence...?

Hey all;

I have a question of opinion (thus the poll) - which of the two residences are better? Things that should be taken into mind are cleanliness, sound levels, people, room/space state, respectability, etc. Also, are either of the two harder to get into than the other?
*edit* - Kitchens are very important to me, so their state is of utmost importance. :).
Thanks for all,
T.H.

    Shell, absolutely. Whoever built McCow should be shot, drawn and quartered, nailed to a stake and turned into pink mist with C4.

    The walls in McCow offer you NO privacy - if you even talk on the phone late at night, the people next door will hear you (so imagine how, er, voyeuristic people might get if you, shall we say, bring other people over). The rooms in Shell are made out of actual concrete. Way better.

    Noise levels are important... though you do have to imagine the symbiotic relationship if you are an exhibitionist, and your neighbour is a voyeur :teeth: .
    Anyways, thanks for the input. Altogether, Shell sounds better from what I've heard from other people. Is it harder to get into?
    Best,
    T.H.

    If you live in rez, you have to try and live in the townhouses out of any of the other three choices. I've lived on rez my entire university experience. I hate the towers, but some people love them because they don't have to cook.

    I've never lived in Shell House, but out of these two choices, there is a split among which if favourite. McCow is older, and Shell is newer. The one reason why McCow can be more favourable than Shell is because of the bathrooms in Shell are quite gross. So it comes down to would you rather have better bathrooms or a newer building.

    Myself, I live in Townhouses so I share my bathroom with one other person and I share my kitchen and living room with three others.

    Townhouses is good, but it's kind of a long walk to classes whereas shell is as close as you can possibly get

    A hundred metres or so... that is not very far. If you wont live there because of that reason, dare I say that you are lazy.
