<p>Well think about it, Bursley is about 5 times bigger I believe. It can't be a 50/50 chance.</p>
<p>any advice for someone thinking about living at home (20 mins from campus)? Is it totally impossible or reasonably feasible?</p>
<p>Well I know people who do live at home and save the 8000 $. </p>
<p>Its more convenient though to live in a res hall. You'll make many friends from your floor/corridor/ learning community. You can eat at the cafeterias or go to your room for a nap, between classes. Things like that. You're more independent , living in a dorm - get to do whatever you want. </p>
<p>If you have the money then definitely go ahead and enjoy the dorm expereince. You could go home whenever you feel like too.</p>
<p>It's definitely better to live on-campus, but I have met a few commuters. I guess if you treat it like a job, you drive to AA every day for classes and also for exams. Downside is you won't make a ton of friends and will be disconnected from everything going on.</p>
<p>If you are a freshman, you should definitely live on campus. It's the best way to experience what's going on at Michigan. </p>
<p>-Alice Lloyd has the biggest "overall" single rooms.
-South Quad supposedly has the most variety of food
-The Hill area sometimes will take you 10-15 minutes to walk to class on central campus. It'll take you 5 minutes to walk to a bus stop, then 10 minutes to ride to North campus, then 2-4 minutes to walk to class on North Campus.
-Each meal supposedly costs $9-$10 (you pay everything with your boarding plan). To be honest the food is NOT good , compared to other schools that charge you $40k a year. (Cornell has hotel-5 star food).
-Many live off campus 2nd year, because they realize that it saves them money</p>
<p>Last tip: If you don't like your dorm, call the school right away. And ask, cry, beg, threaten (seriously...say that you aren't going there). And they WILL try to change your dorm.</p>
<p>Living off campus doesn't necessarily save money...most places make you sign a 12-month lease, so that can really take away from it. I pay about $540/month, plus cable/internet, gas/electric, water, etc. Not to mention food. Don't really know if it ends up being cheaper or not, but it is worth it.</p>
<p>I think there is a question about "suite-style" living -- if you ask for suite-style and North Campus, you'll be in Baits. Bursley is a "regular" dorm.
I think the food is pretty good -- best at Bursley. Next year, the new dining center will open on the Hill -- and that should be the best. Dining halls at Couzens, Lloyd and Stockwell will close. (Actually, Stockwell dorm is going to be closed for renovations.)
It's not nearly as cheap to live off campus as people think. By the time you add in heat, electric, water, cable and internet -- plus people never figure in the cost of food -- it's not that much different.
I think all freshmen should live on campus and a lot of sophomores stay on campus too. It may not be as "luxurious" as off-campus, but it's easy, convenient and there are always people around.</p>
<p>How many miles is it from north campus to central campus?</p>
<p>Do Not Join Lhsp!</p>
<p>what's wrong with lhsp?</p>
<p>The blue folder where the admission letter came in says that beginning mid-March, or 2 -3 weeks after sending enrollment deposit, residence hall applications become available on line to students who have paid the deposit.</p>
<p>So if you send in the deposit now, can you get access to the application in two weeks from now, or does that apply only after mid March? </p>
<p>And if you can do it now, does that help in getting a lower lottery number?</p>
<p>Do we get to pick which campus we want to live on? Also, how is Central for a science major student?</p>
