<p>I'm a transfer student, and I was just wondering where I should request to live. I've talked a few people and they all say "west campus." Which are the newest/best buildings to live in?
And recommendations?</p>
<p>I just finished my first year as a transfer and lived on both North Campus in the townhouses where the transfers are usually placed and for the second semester left to live at Carl Becker on West Campus (brand new dorm). </p>
<p>File your housing application as soon as possible–I believe they accept the mailed in versions before they activate the online application so mail that thing in because it determines where you live. It doesn’t matter what you write down/what dorms you choose fyi, they’ll place you wherever they have room. There’s a 65% chance you’ll be in the townhouses, 25% chance on west campus (most likely in the Gothics–really old dorms), and 10% chance you’ll hand in your application really late and be placed with the freshman which, for lack of a better phrase, sucks balls.</p>
<p>rank in your choices:
-west campus (carl becker, alice cooke, hans bethe, house 5/rose house, keeton) > NEW DORMS
-west campus (gothics)
-north campus (townhouses)
-find an apartment in collegetown
-live with freshman. if you’re a guy i guess it’s ok because freshman girls are easy prey.</p>

<p>Wow, really? I heard that its the other way around; most transfers are put in West and the remaining are filled in townhouses. I’m a transfer really hoping for West, so, I hope you’re wrong.</p>
<p>Yeah, not next year, I doubt.</p>
<p>Cornell really screwed up with housing this year, and literally EVERYTHING on West was taken.</p>
<p>I’m sure they have SOME spots reserved for transfers, but with the abundance of free space in the program houses/townhouses, I can’t imagine they would save that many spots on west for transfers.</p>
<p>what is a quad room? is that a suite? or what?</p>
<p>like, should i prefer a double room, a quad room, or a townhouse?</p>
