<p>House Meal Tradition is for residents of Alice Cook House, Carl Becker House, Hans Bethe House, William Keeton House and Flora Rose House. If you are not living at those houses then you will need traditional bear plan. Golden bear under the traditional bear plan will also give you unlimited meal plan.</p>
<p>house traditional are only (i think Only…well if you lived on north campus *** would you be trekking down to west campus every meal for) for ppl who live on west campus. so if youre not an upperclassman you probably shouldnt be considering it.</p>
<p>well im a transfer, so I should get a house meal plan instead of a bear one? they both cost the same…</p>
<p>But doesn’t it say you can update it until rooming assignments are made? Do you know around when the assignments will come out?</p>
<p>if youre a transfer get the house traditional not hte bear traditional. if you live in any of those houses that person ^ above listed, you HAVE to get a house plan.</p>
<p>Well I was officially accepted by e-mail yesterday after I had already found out by pre-email.</p>
<p>However, since it’s the weekend and the offices are closed, I can’t get my NetID reset and do the housing form.</p>
<p>I’m still going to end up waiting before I completely finish the housing forms for my local friend who had a GT for this year. He’s struggling with the decision to leave his current school or not, but if he does choose Cornell I think we agreed rooming together would be nothing short of awesome. He has until June 1st to pick where he wants…hopefully he makes the decision sooner. 
</p>
<p>There’s no way housing forms NEED to be completed in the past few days and that if you wanted a roommate requested that it has to be done, a lot of students haven’t even received acceptance yet. Then tons more go through financial discussions before they put their heart on Cornell. I’m sure they have plenty of wiggle room for us over the next month.</p>
<p>Not to mention, it doesn’t matter how long you wait to decide (to an extent) because no transfers are allowed to pick which particular dorm hall they want. So it’s not like we’re going to get the short end of the stick (worse case scenario, you aren’t on West, but I don’t see that happening.)</p>
<p>Even if something does come up, I’ll bet if I speak to someone they can pair me and my friend up for the time being, then just put someone else in with me if he chooses not to go.</p>
<p>Cornell is very short on dorms, that’s why the website says guaranteed housing if signed up by May 1. On top of that, it is also not that easy to get off campus housing, most students sign rental contract a year prior. Fall is usually worse than other semester to find off campus housing. If I were you, I would sign up for housing now and let your friend decide for himself later. You may still be able to sign up for housing using your AppID. Two years ago, our D was waitlisted until after May 1, we had to use NetID to do housing.</p>
<p>I know first year students are guaranteed housing, but I am not sure about transfers.</p>
<p>Transfers are guaranteed on-campus housing so long as they apply by July 1st.</p>
<p>^–I remember that part, so I can probably just apply when I get everything set, then request later for us to room together if he chooses Cornell. Thanks, guys. </p>
<p>Everyone just groups the gothics together in one package, but does anyone know if particular gothic dorms are better than others? Which should I be happy/satisfied with if I’m placed there and which will take some adjusting?</p>
