Anyone pass WUSTL first round?

<p>haha chamnan im completely wack- rooming with me would probably scar you for life ~_~ did you sign up for a modern room too?</p>

<p>hahaha...np. I have not decided yet. The prices are suck. Room and board at WUSTL is about the same price as my current tuition at my current school. Now I have to pressure my parents to let me go to WUSTL. I probably sign up for the old dorm to save some money. </p>

<p>So what is the differences between the newer dorms and older ones, besides the age?</p>

<p>i think it's like one is slightly bigger than the other, and their layouts are a bit different...that's it i think.</p>

<p>I want a triple, and I find the dorm prices to be very reasonable (5,000-5,500), especially compared to those of other schools I'm applying to. </p>

<p>I'm not sure which dorm I would prefer since I don't have the housing info yet. I hope to receive that stuff soon...as of now all of the papers that they've sent are aimed towards someone wanting off-campus housing. They may just assume that I want to live in a university-owned apartment since I will be an incoming junior, but I really want a dorm room.</p>

<p>I prefer a bigger room. So which one is bigger?</p>

<p>Dude...yeah, I have no idea 'bout which dorm I want. My parents want me to select "study in room" but I wanna select "compromise." Hehehehe. I'm so devious!</p>

<p>Um...so all my credits transferred. I'm trying to talk to Greg to get him to allow me to waive my Writing 1 class. I'll be walking as a soph. with 50 hours! =) 16 from fall, 19 from spring and 15 from AP. Yahoo!</p>

<p>Have any of you guys looked at the study abroad? LSE and Oxford, heck yes. What language are y'all guys looking at?</p>

<p>Haha yeah...I was serious in my essay. I look forward to the Summer Language Institute so I can study in France...in which case my language of choice will be French. </p>

<p>That's great about the credits!</p>

<p>hey Brand, a triple is not availible for transfer. The residence life office told me that a triple is for freshmen only</p>

<p>Ahh that's sad. Double it is.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update, chamnan. My dad was thinking that the triple was the best val. for money.</p>

<p>What is each dorm like?</p>

<p>I am going to get the old ones. It cheaper, but there will be six people sharing a common rooom and a bathroom vs. only 4 people in the new dorms. Unlike old dorms, the new ones have elevator.</p>

<p>I would be careful which dorm you pick. You should visit the dorm website and look at the pictures. Some dorms looks appealing while others not so good.</p>

<p>Ah, I keep getting chamnan mixed up with chanman (st. louis on a farm?). </p>

<p>You're the Wharton guy, right?</p>

<p>no, chanMAN is the Wharton guy</p>

<p>I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but keep in mind that even if you got a housing form, if things happen like they did last year, you may not get a spot on campus. This happened to me, I ended up being placed in an off-campus apartment building owned by Quadrangle. Though keep your hopes up that the class of 2011 won't be so large!</p>

<p>^^^ that's exactly what I'd heard. Housing on-campus is kinda a biggie for me as I want to become integrated into the community. Have you had trouble making friends since you live off-campus? This is a big advantage that Wesleyan has over WashU (guaranteed dorms)</p>

<p>is housing for us determined after the '11 class comes?</p>

<p>I've actually not had any problems making friends, largely due in part to the excellent transfer orientation! I met so many people during orientation and in classes that I've had no problem. I really hope that you guys get housing though; you might want to consider the Village "Transfer Year and Beyond" BLOC, I've heard it's excellent and that they are looking for residents!</p>

<p>Sweet! if they're looking I'll definitely apply.</p>

<p>yay, i got th okay from my parents for a single!!! Yippy.</p>

<p>Hey imran, I am choosing greg house too. It seems to fit my personality better (I looked at the dorm pics posted online).</p>

<p>hey great! and where'd u see the pictures? I could barely find any of the dorms themselves from washu's resident life page</p>
