<p>Everyone wants to go from Cuarto to Segundo or Tercero, but in all honesty, what are the odds of someone being able to do this?</p>
<p>really guys? 70 views and not one answer from anyone?</p>
<p>what are the odds of actually being able to transfer from cuarto/segundo/tercero to another res hall?</p>
<p>First of all, thank you for your patience regarding a reply. Not everybody who views this page has an account, so even 3,000 views could be meaningless. Also, a lot of students on here are actually high school students considering applying to Davis, so they don’t reply because they don’t know.</p>
<p>Let me get out my crystal ball to help you.</p>
<p>The high rises in Segundo are closed this year and there are many new dorms in Tercero South. It’s an entirely new situation this year. Will people want Cuarto? Segundo? Tercero? Who knows? Traditionally, Cuarto is the least desired, so people don’t typically try to switch into Cuarto. I’m sure some will request a suite or a quad, but for the most part, you’re stuck there.</p>
<p>But that’s not a bad thing. Anyone who says Cuarto is less social than the other dorms is simply wrong. There are many benefits to Cuarto and you will get to know many, many people. You have access to Segundo and Tercero DC, so why complain? There are a lot of people in your same situation who can’t wait to meet their fellow Cuarto residents.</p>
<p>^ awesome reply.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the chances of switching are extremely slim. You read that e-mail they sent us, right? Plenty of people are being grouped tercero/put into areas they don’t want to be. I sympathize your being put into Cuarto but try to look forward to it! I heard the community grows really close there!</p>
<p>I lived in cuarto last year and it was pretty great. I was grouped with five other girls, and all of us had listed cuarto as our third choice. By the end of the year, we all loved it. And in retrospect, I’ll be honest, I still would have put segundo first for proximity but cuarto would have definitely been second. :)</p>
<p>Also, one of my worries last year was that cuarto was really isolated from all the other freshmen in segundo and tercero. I really didn’t have to worry because there was a lot of interflow between cuarto and segundo residents as a lot of cuarto residents eat in the segundo dorms, pass the segundo area when getting onto campus, etc.</p>
<p>thanks for the responses guys</p>
<p>sorry if i sounded angry for not getting a reply. it had a lot of views and people have been talking for weeks about this, so i figured it was strange</p>

<p>The difference this year is that Segundo will be half empty, as most of the freshmen will be living in Tercero.</p>
<p>I realize that, but there still quite a few people in segundo as regan circle and segundo north will be occupied. Even so, the point I’m trying to make is that sometimes the way cuarto is described make it sound like you won’t meet people or have a social life. Just be aware that living in cuarto is not a bad thing and that you might really like it :)</p>
<p>How many dining commons are there? I know of Segundo and Tercero, is there one in Cuarto? When I move in on Sunday, I plan on trying out everyone.</p>
<p>There are three dining commons (DCs) – one in each area (Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto).
Cuarto has the newest DC, which is scheduled to open this fall. They are still working on it as we speak. It is located between Emerson and Thoreau/Webster. There used to be a DC in Castilian, but they are permanently shutting it down (it’s really old and small).</p>
<p>All three DCs are really new. The oldest one (Segundo) is only a few years old, and Tercero is just slightly newer!</p>
