That's surprising. All my roommates were gunning for Commons (I wanted Courtyards) but there wasn't enough room. Courtyards at least seams quieter, and free parking.
But now at least you get a real apartment 
possibly!
the people who run commons are complete jerks who enjoy trying to screw over students as much as possible. i lived in commons 2 and my room wasn't really that nice and the newer commons buildings are actually worth the price considering the newer ones have a lot more things than my apartment has. but basically i hated everyone in resident life when i lived there, but thats a long story. enjoy courtyards! i have friends there who love it.
and yes i finally have a real apartment! in manhattan. a little different than commons
