Anyone Else Not Get Housing Stuff Yet? (transfers... )

Colleges and Universities A-Z Binghamton University - SUNY

<p>I've gotten a bunch of mail from them, but nothing on housing. I really don't feel like getting stuck in some horrible housing or what not, so I'll probably give them a call tomorrow, but wanted to know if I'm the only transfer that hasn't gotten anything yet.</p>

<p>I've gotten some meninghetis (sp) mail, another one a few days ago on orientation, but nothing on housing.</p>

<p>Also, what are good spots for transfers? Or maybe just general students. I assume there are some buildings that suck and are far from everything or maybe are more run down or something. Anyway, just any general information would be great. Thanks.</p>

<p>Check your bing email... i'm an incoming freshman that's where my housing stuff came to, so maybe it's the same for you</p>

<p>go to reslife.binghamton.edu</p>

<p>But maybe I can some it up for you</p>

<p>Mountainview: one of the best dorming experiences, suite style living, beautiful dorms CLEAN, your own bathroom but far away on a mountain so very antisocial</p>

<p>CIW: supposedly the best dorming experience, corridor and suite style living, very social & nice</p>

<p>Hinman: Suites, very close to classes, and not too social but not as antisocial as mountainview</p>

<p>Dickinson: Very nice but boring and no suites just corridor style</p>

<p>Newing: The party dorm!!! for the most fun, and social people, however they are known to party and to drink so much that their academics suffer. Party 24/7 by far the most FUN & SOCIAL dorm... academically no... no suites so you are sharing a bathroom with the hallway</p>

<p>Susquehanna and Hillside- for upperclassmen only, you also need a certain gpa to dorm there apartments, and are very nice. However, i am not sure transfers can dorm there b/c of the gpa thing</p>

<p>When you do your housing you have to rank them in order of preference 1-5</p>

<p>I chose:</p>

<p>CIW, Mountainview, Hinman, Newing, and then Dickinson, in that orderrr</p>

<p>Hope this could be of help to you
Good luck
&& Congrats on your acceptance!!!</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I just filled out request and although you said CIW seems nice, I put it third since I really don't want to get a double. So let's hope I can get to Hinman (would like to be near classes and have suite) or if not there... then Mountainview. I'm fine with CIW if those are taken, but we'll see. </p>

<p>Again, thanks for the help.</p>

<p>omg you guys are transfers and already are choosing housing????</p>

<p>i'm still waiting for my decision letter to come!
=[</p>

<p>Really? How late did you apply? I found out not too long after I applied</p>

6

<p>I applied to the nursing school, so I'm assuming it takes longer than the usual process, but i applied back in january =&lt;/p>

<p>i'm a first year, not a transfer</p>

<p>&&</p>

<p>good luck to you</p>

<p>Yay! I got Hinman. That's where I wanted. </p>

<p>Suit, close to class, and if you are right on it being neither super anti-social nor crazy party dorms, then that's what I want... the happy medium. And to top it all off, they have a weight room too? Awesome. I had to walk (although I usually jogged) almost a mile from my dorms at Hofstra to the weight room, it got annoying. The explaination of these dorms seem very similar in style to the dorms I stayed in at Hofstra, so think I should like 'em.</p>

<p>Well, let's just hope my roomates are cool and I'll be set.</p>

<p>Congrats! I'm still waiting on my housing stuff</p>
