Freshman trying to determine where to live....

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>Any ideas? Recommendations? </p>

<p>I'm going to be an engineering major. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

2

<p>are you Rodman?</p>

3

<p>nope...........</p>

4

<p>Old dorms.</p>

5

<p>If you live in Old Dorms all your classes will be practically across the street...</p>

6

<p>isn't it supposed to be really noisy in the old dorms?</p>

7

<p>Really noisy? They're more social, so I guess people interact more. If you want a fortress of solitude for studying engineering and playing computer games and DDR, then go live in Hereford. lol.</p>

8

<p>comments on the new dorms please?</p>

9

<p>old dorms>new dorms</p>

<p>Suite style dorms would be much better for upper class housing, in my opinion.</p>

10

<p>no no no, not freshman, first year! lol ;)</p>

11

<p>new dorms > old dorms...more diverse and nicer inside.</p>

12

<p>I heard the hereford is terrible, is that true?</p>

13

<p>old dorms>new dorms...more fun, social, interesting (and I live in new dorms...)</p>

<p>jddeadoralibe, yes, hereford is terrible.</p>

14

<p>hereford is pretty rough because of the distance. I live in old dorms, but I'm always at new dorms, and personally I think both are very social. If you're really into frat/soror life then I'd choose old dorms, but I think new dorms are waaayyy better.</p>

15

<p>haha isnt it kind of funny that the one who lives in new dorms likes the old dorms, and vice versa? :P</p>

16

<p>If you live in Brown, your classes are like just 4 minutes away, even much closer than from old dorms - unless you are in the e school in which case only makes a 1 minute difference. Not many people know you can apply to Brown as a first-year! Check it out and apply. It's a pretty cool place: <a href="http://www.brown-college.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.brown-college.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

17

<p>...and Brown has cool upperclassmen to buy you, umm...n/m ;)</p>

18

<p>What difference does it make? After your first-year if you live with upperclassmen anyway. </p>

<p>And you will have first-year friends in your classes. Besides, Brown is increasing its intake of incoming first-years by 50% to a total of 45. Living in Brown is great - not only do you have your own room but you also have a roommate :) We also have banquets every month that offer better food than in dining halls. </p>

<p>Bkyln2Cornell has toured Brown College and you can ask him to attest to the things I say.</p>

<p>I signed up in order of pref:</p>

<p>McCormick
Alderman</p>

<p>My cousin who is a senior at UVA said living at Brown meant social death. I really hated to hear that because Brown WAS my 1st choice.</p>

20

<p>tenniscraze, I didn't mean that in a bad way. Think about what upperclassmen can buy that first years can't...</p>

<p>worldshopper, that entirely depends on the person. Some would enjoy Brown more, but most UVA students would probably like Old Dorms more.</p>
