<p>What is your favorite CMU dorm? (for incoming freshmen)</p>
<p>I believe Mudge, Donner, and Stever are generally the most popular dorms on campus–Amy Revak’s blog talks a bit about most of the dorms–you can look in the April and May 2010 Archives. :]

<p>I agree with you. As of right now Mudge is my favorite dorm. Does anyone know how quickly it fills up?</p>
<p>^It fills up very, very quickly.</p>
<p>Morewood E Tower is also one of the most popular dorms. I’d say something along of the lines of Mudge, then Morewood, then Donner (maybe Stever?) in terms of popularity…</p>
<p>… have any of you incoming freshmen even visited the dorms? How can you have a favorite? :p</p>
<p>I live in Mudge. best decision for freshman year. Will fill up fast though (especially since they’re putting some of the interest housing in here next year).</p>
<p>Well, I guess I won’t be getting Mudge 
Hopefully Morewood or Donner…</p>
<p>^ Indeed. Random question, even though a dorm has wireless, is it worth it to bring an ethernet cord? And how long?</p>
<p>Wired is usually faster than wireless due to the router/modem placement and thickness of walls, but is it significant?</p>
<p>wired is worth it in the event that somebody on your floor does something stupid to knock out the wireless. I always liked to pay catch in the halls of etower, but managed to never hit the router with my football…</p>
<p>wired is also necessary for access to some file sharing capabilities… which is illegal so you shouldn’t do</p>
<p>Well, there is Dtella, which is CMU’s file sharing system - I don’t remember the legal technicalities on that one, but I do know you won’t get in trouble for using it, and it has a lot of good stuff 
You do need an ethernet cord for it.</p>
<p>dtella is definitely not legal. It’s harder to get caught than on a normal file-sharing network, but I know people who have gotten kicked off of CMU’s network for being caught using it.</p>
<p>That said, watching all of HIMYM for free is pretty nice…</p>
