DORMS: Santa Catalina VS. Tropicana Del Norte

Hi guys, I’m an upcoming freshman for the class of 2020. I have already looked through my housing options, and I am now deciding between Santa Catalina and Tropicana Del Norte.

I hear that FT would be an awesome freshman experience, but the distance from the residence hall and the campus being a mile makes me second guess. I don’t know how to bike nor do I have a car. Scared about being late to classes.

On the other hand, Tropicana Del Norte looks amazing as well. Suite style, adjacent to the campus, and cool amenities. It’s a walking distance from the campus as well. The only downside is that I don’t hear much about great freshman experiences.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I’m going to santa catalina, there is a bus and you could also have a bike or board to get to class. It’s up to you though.
