<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I really liked Harnwell---the dorm and one of its residential programs. What is the likelihood that I'll get housing as a freshman in CAS? I do know some people in it if it helps. Are there any negatives other than it being far from CAS classes?</p>
<p>I’m also wondering the same thing because the high rises really impressed me when I visited. What I’ve heard is that high rises for freshmen are in relatively low demand so getting a room there is likely (if you do the Fresh ex program).</p>
<p>Hey! I’m in CAS and I really liked Harwell tooo 
The only bad thing I heard about it is that there isn’t much of a community-like feel. If you’re more of a private person, then it’s for you. But i still prefer the high rises than the other dorms…the rest just seem too congested lol</p>
<p>Harnwell is great. Best location out of the high-rises too.
BUT I wouldn’t recommend it to freshmen as a first choice. Imo, you should try for the Quad, where most of your class will be living for the year. It makes the transition to university life much easier.</p>
<p>I only know of a couple freshmen who live in Harnwell. None of them hang out with each other - all of them have had to make friends outside of their college house.</p>
