<p>these may be retarded questions but bear with me. im but a mere junior in high school...</p>
<ol>
<li>does UConn have CoEd dorms? (lol does a coed dorm even exist?) </li>
<li>can freshmen live in a single?</li>
<li>can you stay over in other people's dorms? (some schools are strict about that)</li>
<li>does UConn even bother to call themselves a "dry campus"?</li>
<li>best freshman dorm?</li>
</ol>
<p>ok thanks for any answers</p>
<p>lol i totally love that ur asking if they have coed dorms…</p>
<p>yes, they have coed dorms. not coed rooms, but they have coed floors. they also have single sex floors</p>
<p>thanks.
got any answers to the others?</p>
<p>There actually are coed rooms, but they are only for upper classmen. Freshman can, but usually don’t live in a single. You can stay over in other people’s rooms for a limited time. There is as much alcohol at UConn as every other campus in the nation, maybe even less, since I’ve heard that most of the parties happen off-campus.</p>
<p>sweet thanks! do you have a web address where you found this or is it just your background knowledge.</p>
<p>Background information, but I’m sure if you poke around the housing site, there is something. Or perhaps a current student could elaborate? (waiting for student)</p>
<p>I’d echo everything that Philosopher and morgs said, more or less. </p>
<p>Dorms are coed by hall or floor for the most part. There are two single-sex dorms in East (Grange and Sprague, I think), and there are a couple “gender-neutral” suites in Hilltop (ie, coed by room… but spots are limited and you have to apply for them).</p>
<p>There is technically a “guest policy” and forms you’re supposed to fill out for having a guest over, but I’ve never heard of someone following this in practice. It’s pointless and a hassle (for everyone involved). The only practical guest policy that people follow is to ask their roommate if it’d be okay, and to be considerate about it.</p>
<p>UConn dorms are officially no longer “dry” (as of last year I believe). This is to allow upper classmen who are 21+ living in predominantly underclass dorms (eg, RAs in underclass dorms) to keep alcohol in their rooms.</p>
<p>Best freshman dorm is Northwest, which is the freshman-only residence that most freshmen get put into. I, unfortunately, was placed next door in North as a freshman. The rooms were kind of like prison cells.</p>
<p>so,Northwest is the best freshman dorm?Any other good dorms for freshmen?
Thanks</p>
<p>Could someone please give some info on the better dorms?I’m really interested in uconn!</p>
<p>thanks!
really helpful guys :)</p>
<p>My dorm rankings (for freshman)</p>
<p>Northwest - Dorms are new, great location (Northwest/North are good dining halls)
North - Dorms are pretty old, right next to Northwest
Towers - Dorms are new too, really far from most of campus - Towers dining hall is great
Buckely/Shippee - Dorms are okay (some are really good/have bathrooms), location isn’t really good. Dining hall is okay.
East - Old dorms, bad location, bad food, and you are surrounded by vegans. :(</p>
<p>A couple freshman get assigned to other dorms but these are the main ones.</p>
<p>On the housing website for UCONN, East Campus says that it is the quietest dorms on campus, is this true?</p>
<p>Beyond requesting a learning community, single gender housing or admitted to the Honors program, what control do freshmen really have to being assigned to any particular housing?</p>
