<p>Sorry, but I'm only nineteen and this is my first time living in a dorm.</p>
<p>Totally not okay with this.</p>
<p>Also, I got put into Cascadilla in College Town, when I had my heart set on West/Risley.</p>
<p>I'm definitely calling tomorrow, does anyone have some advice on what I should say to get this changed? Also, any anecdotes regarding Cascadilla would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Wow, really surprised that your room mate was not given a single. Sorry, I have no info about your dorm. good luck with resolving this.</p>
<p>whats wrong with that? i dont believe cornell discriminates based on age…</p>
<p>Cascadilla is not bad because it’s still really close to campus, but you are right there in C-town. The age thing is pretty creepy though…are you a guy or a girl?</p>
<p>I agree with cornellperson. Casc seems to be in the perfect location and theres no reason to have your “heart set” on west campus</p>
<p>Well, I just really wanted the “on-campus experience.” I transferred from a community college and thus, have never lived in a dorm.</p>
<p>Also, I’m a boy. It wouldn’t be so bad if not for the age thing.</p>
<p>Any more suggestions?</p>
<p>risley’s AWESOME if you can get in. i lived in it my freshman year - if you have any questions, PM me about it.</p>
<p>i won’t be able to tell you what your room looks like etc (unless it’s a coincidence that either i or one of my friends lived in the room you will be living in…) but i can give you a general feel of the place.</p>
<p>I’d definitely try to change roommates if I was you. The age difference is way too much. Definitely contact the office and work on that.</p>
<p>For the record, they changed it and all is well. Ended up with a single in Risley. They were ever so helpful over the phone.</p>
<p>wow riley john what an amazing dorm change experience! i think? </p>
<p>risley will be a totally different beat…congrats!</p>
<p>Glad that worked out.
FWIW, The collegetown dorm is fine, but a high concentration of upperclassmen, esp those desiring easy access to the engineering quad, can steer it towards the less social. Rooms overlooking College Ave. can get noisy Thurs thru the weekend. It is a particularly great location for people who love being in Collegetown, engineers, and for people into the Performing arts. there is nothing wrong with it but for your purposes Risley is probably better.</p>
<p>there are plenty of performing arts opportunities in risley as well :D</p>
<p>i regret not living in risley b/c of it’s “fruity” stigma lol</p>
<p>And I thought I had it bad with a 24 year old roommate </p>
<p>Thankfully you got yours changed :)</p>
<p>To clarify, there aren’t performing arts opportunities in the collegetown dorms themselves, so far as I know, but thing is the Schwartz Performing Arts Center is right there, which can make taking classes & doing other stuff at that facility a lot more convenient than say a North campus dorm. If you schedule things right.</p>
