Hello. I am going into UNC as a freshman and have a few questions about the dorms. Generally, I am a quiet person who would like a quiet dorm. I am also not one to party. I know that as a freshman, the pick of dorms is few, but I was wondering which south campus dorm (which I know is where I am likely to be placed because I am a freshman) would fit me best.
As I have yet had the chance to go look at the dorms, I would like to hear your opinions from your experiences considering room size, convenience to other locations (I know there’s a 15 min walk to classes), bathrooms (how many people you share it with/cleaning services), laundry, noise level, wi-fi, renovations, and furniture (do I have to share a closet/dresser), and cost.
Also, could someone explain the difference between cooridor and suite style? From my understanding, cooridor is sharing a bathroom with 7 other people, and suite is sharing a bathroom with 3 other people.
Could someone clarify about their experiences at Granville? I’ve heard it’s loud and common for rushing (which I am not interested in), but the closeness to campus and the gym/food service is very appealing.
I am also invited to Honors Carolina, so Koury is an appealing option.
Moreover, what are the chances of getting into Connor as a freshman?
Thank you so much for all of your responses.
(Also, I found a video of a dorm tour online. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjDprmtvXjE. How many of the other dorms have this set up?)
