Hi everyone! I have recently been accepted at USC and I have been brainstorming over housing. I know, New/North is the hotspot of social activity, but I can’t deal with communal bathrooms and prefer to have a suite dorm. I am basically set on Fluor, but aside from the picture of the setup on the housing website, I don’t know much else about the dorm. I am also currently trying to convince a potential roommate to join me and another girl at Fluor instead of Birkrant, but I don’t know enough about the dorm to completely sway her.
Can anyone share some insight into the dorm? Videos, blog posts, pictures, anything?!
My daughter, now a sophomore at USC, toured them all and really wanted to live in Webb or Fluor as a freshman for many reasons… first - they are apartment or suite set-ups and simply have more space - with living room and kitchen, private bath, and A/C throughout the apartment (in the case of Webb). My key advice though is to do what she did… locate a roommate and then make sure that your preferences/requests match exactly… #1 thru 4 or 5, however many there are. My D did so. She and her eventual roommate only listed Webb and Fluor options that matched exactly. By doing this, you make the job of USC Housing easier and they are more like to pair you two together and grant you one of your top choices. She found her roommate here on CC. My daughter is now at Century as a sophomore and has already locked in Century again for her junior year. Everyone has different needs or wants. In her case, it was A/C throughout (which is rare at USC) and having an actual apartment with lots of space + a kitchen + private bath.
From this link, you can start to explore Fluor… its floor plan options, etc. Or you can explore the other suite and apartment options.
@dancerocksmysox1 You’re welcome. As a freshman, that is not really possible, as I understand it… unless you are requesting only a 1 BR / 2 person scenario. It simply allows you to request a single roommate. In your sophomore years and beyond, I do believe that it is possible however to mutually select all roommates. Good luck…
