<p>Hey,
This is my second year at a community college. I hope to transfer to the University of Arizona in the fall of '08. By that time I will be a junior, but I'd like to live on campus (at least for the first semester) just to get a feel of the school's environment. I know freshmen typically live in dorms, and I was wondering if upperclassmen lived in dorms as well. I'm also leaning towards getting a single dorm over having a roommate. </p>
<p>I'd like to meet people closer to my age, and I just didn't want to feel left out from the people in my age group. I guess overall I just feel kind of alone and I also would like to improve my social life by living on-campus...any advice?</p>
<p>Upperclassmen do live in dorms, depending on the school. It varies. I've found that different schools really vary with their housing. Some offer upperclassmen apartments, some dorms. It's a mixed bag.</p>
<p>You might also want to post your question about housing options on the UofA forum here on cc.</p>
<p>Living on campus is one way of connecting, if that is an option at UofA. Other great options include joining clubs, organizations, community service groups; having an on-campus job; seeking out study groups in some of your classes.</p>
<p>Have an "open door" policy when you first arrive at your dorm/suite - post a big sign on your door, "Come in, I have brownies/candy/cookies....," on move-in day.</p>
