<p>wat makes them nice..
well im transfering to the college of human Ecology.. so idk.. will that help? lol
is the transfer center single?
well arent the transfer students kinda not good to live with.. since they really dont know much about the school.. so u cant get info from the,.. and they are not really cornell type people.. like i know most kids that transfer to cornell are from community colleges.. so they arent the brightest.. u know..
and
other than BALCH, what is the next best dorm to live in (OVERALL)?
a dorm with guys who live in it as well..
which dorms are the NEWEST?
which is the best SINGLE dorm to live in?
are the single dorms corridor style? or suite?
are the corridor style dorms clean.. like do they actually have CLEAN bathrooms?.. </p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Our bathrooms are clean, except when someone pukes in the sink instead of the toilet, which baffles me to no end, since they're about 5 feet apart.</p>

23

<p>Most of the people on this site are freshman which would make them unknowledgable of dorms that you would live in other than in a general or remotely observatory sense.</p>

<p>since you are a transfer as well, perhaps you, too, are no the brightest...u know...</p>

<p>that's kind of an unfair accusation; i'll just leave it at that. you're not required to be good friends with all of your hallmates either. It just seems easier to make friends in the TC. less like going to a new HS school sophomore year where everyone knows each other and more like everyone applying their knowledge of college life together and having a shortened freshman "disorientation" period. That is what I would recommend. </p>

<p>Cornell has a website with information on the dorms. did you look at that yet?</p>

<p>In general, i would say cleanliness of a dorm varies year to year based on occupants.</p>

<p>"well arent the transfer students kinda not good to live with.. since they really dont know much about the school."</p>

<p>If you're new to a campus, wouldn't you want to room with other people who didn't know the campus, either, so that you could discover the campus together? I know that's what I'd prefer. </p>

<p>Not all the people in the transfer center are from community colleges, either. Some of them are from ivy-league or ivy-league caliber schools; please don't generalize. </p>

<p>If you have any further questions about the dorms or program houses, why don't you come here and visit them yourself? We on the site can tell you about them, but it's not the same as seeing them for yourself.</p>

25

<p>I love Clara Dickson and the people in it with all of my heart & soul!!!!</p>

<p>Get a single--you will NOT regret it. The only reason I'm ever in my room alone is to sleep or study. I couldn't get lonely or be antisocial if I tried.</p>

26

<p>Don't forget JAM!!!
The people here are amazing and the suite style is good for studying and noise reduction, but since most people in JAM chose to live here, we have a common thread that increases the social aspect of the dorm.</p>

27

<p>yeah that's probably a great point jerew. The interest based program houses should have a nice bond. Do I know you on campus jerew? BTW I <3 Cornell2009Hotelie, I see you stopped by my room again from what was written on my white board.</p>

28

<p>Hey, yeah. You've seen me around. It was a while ago, but i said "hey" at the Class of 2009 picture. I'm pry a bit taller than you too, so that really narrows it down. well, you are a facebook friend too.</p>

29

<p>Hahahha sparticus800 is my life. :) (99% of the reason I posted on here was for you!)</p>

30

<p>PM me your name so i can put 2 and 2 and 2 together</p>

31

<p>do singles cost more than doubles/triples? thanks!</p>

32

<p>singles cost about $800 more than a double and over 1K than a triple, but in a class, I read a study that found that triples are actually a risk factor (might end up contributing to a lower GPA) of course there are exceptions, but the cramped triple can be detrimental. </p>

<p>Personally, I would say do a double freshman year to get the experience and learn how to live with someone not a sibling and family, but be in a single for the rest of your college career. </p>

<p>just so you know, on west campus, there are a limited number of 3 room doubles, which are great if you still want to save money, but get your own "room"</p>

33

<p>i don't think theres any real roommate advantage in terms of an "experience"</p>

<p>if you divide the 800 up by the time on campus it's like paying 100 a month for your own room versus sharing it. That's like $3 a day to have your own space! not bad...I can think of many times in life when I'd have payed way more than $3 to get rid of someone for the night :p</p>

34

<p>haha, my friend paid 20 to get rid of someone for the night</p>

<p>Financial aid covered my single, since I didn't request it</p>

35

<p>wow. why woudl they give fin aid to cover a single? you would think they would give you the cheapest thing. haha</p>

36

<p>that's what I asked, lol, but I don't care, I'm glad I got a single</p>

37

<p>So if I do get into Cornell for next fall 2006, and I want to get a single with a good dining hall, what are my options? I also don't want to be completely antisocial and I want to party, which is one of the reasons I'm transferring, along with the fact I'm not academically challenged.</p>

<p>Others may disagree, but I think the best dining halls are on North Campus - so I would try to get into a program house that's located up here. Either that, or the Transfer Center (which I hear is incredibly social.)</p>
