Any1 plannin to live in the 'special interest' dorms?

<p>I was just wondering how popular they were and who else here is interested in living there.</p>

<p>I, personally, am going to register for the Asian cultural dorm floor... anyone else coming?</p>

<p>BTW, does anyone know much about those floors? Are they pretty much the same as other floors (except for their special interest of course).</p>

<p>If I were going to UCSB, I'd probably sign up for it. But I'm still deciding among 3 other schools. I know there's a lot of other interests, like Black, Hispanic, Environmental, Quiet Studies, and a lot more, but these interest floors only hold around 50 students.</p>

<p>haha. i was thinking about applying for the special interest floor but everyone tells me since its the asian floor at least 80% are going to be nerds
i want some real fun with my floormates so i was thinking against it
so if anyone knows what its really like give some input :]</p>

<p>I plan on applying to the Performing & Creative Arts floor, but I'm still not sure. I would like to know more about it.</p>

<p>how/when do you apply to the special interest floors? (is it after the housing lottery?)</p>

<p>Ronris I had the same question (transfer interest) so I emailed the housing office and they said that AFTER you "win" the lottery, then you can rank your choices. They didn't tell me any more than that, but to me it makes more sense to rank them first...</p>

<p>Are you serious? 80% of the asian floor is nerds? If it is... then I'm nto going to apply there. Does anyone know the real situation?</p>

<p>rainbow dorms ftw. i wonder if people ever play pranks on that floor. like have a slip and slide with lube...</p>

<p>nah 80% arent nerds. theyre just asian, so yea if u used to asians and asian pride then go for it. its an asian floor not a nerd floor u noe</p>

<p>Alright sweet... thanks pinoyboi.</p>

<p>BTW, does anyone know if those spots fill up quickly? Is there anyway I can guarantee myself a spot at the asian culutral floor?</p>

<p>pinoyboix -- are you going to/currently attending ucsb? and same Q as karupt, do the floors fill up quickly and is the housing process first come first serve?</p>

<p>no idea, my friend just lives there. she parties alot so just thought id clear up that whole lots of asians = nerds thing. but since it is the only special interest asian floor, im guessing it fills up quick</p>

<p>haha thanks. ill probably apply to the asian floor now xD it was just something my friend said and shes good at persuding people.</p>

<p>I don't think those floors fill up that quickly. The Rainbow house is really only like half rainbow and the rest are regular students.</p>

<p>Don't really understand why people like to self segregate themselves in college but if that's what you like then you shouldn't have much of a problem getting that floor.</p>

<p>I am on the Outdoor adventure floor! So worth it! We go on floor hikes and do other outdoor activities that make the college experience that much better! If you don't mind living in FT, this is the floor to be on! </p>

<p>P.S. FT are the best dorms, don't listen to the mumbo jumbo about FT being too far. THE rooms themselves are so much nicer. And think about it this way, you definely won't get the freshman 15 with all the bike rides.</p>
