<p>And click on “First-Year Assignment Application”.</p>
<p>yay! housing app!</p>
<p>hey guys, </p>
<p>could anyone tell me the difference between standard, prime and suite housings? what would the room sizes and bathrooms be like?</p>
<p>also, are Resnik House, Welch House and West Wing usually offered to first-year students? </p>
<p>And finally, could anyone give me a gist of how the following choices are? (i.e. room size, location around campus, private/public bathrooms, pricing, and any other stuff)</p>
<p>Donner House
Hamerschlag
Resnik House
Welch House
West Wing
Morewood</p>
<p>You can see plans of typical rooms here: [Buildings&Facilities[/url</a>] and virtual tours of the rooms here: [url=<a href=“http://www.housing.cmu.edu/Tours/]Virtual”>http://www.housing.cmu.edu/Tours/]Virtual</a> Tours](<a href=“http://www.housing.cmu.edu/buildings/]Buildings&Facilities[/url”>http://www.housing.cmu.edu/buildings/)</p>
<p>It seems like they change room assignments around from building to building. I believe for example that my son’s current building won’t have freshmen next year even though it did this year.</p>
<p>Resnik and West Wing are always full of non-first year students.</p>
<p>standard - shared hall bath
prime - bathroom (one toilet/one shower) shared with 2 rooms (typically 2 doubles). This means that someone may be in the shower when you want to use it. You will not typically have that problem when there are 6 showers for your hall, but you will if you have one shower/toilet for 4 people.
suite - bathroom and a common area shared with 2-4 rooms (typically only in West Wing/Resnik, which you won’t get)</p>
<p>cool, thanks for the info. what about the sizes of rooms?</p>
<p>Do you know if you can retain building after the freshman year if you stay at a dorm that has designated freshman floors?</p>
<p>Noblerare, if you check out the links I posted (#24) you’ll see typical room sizes.</p>
<p>You can retain the building after freshman year if it has designated freshman floors (this used to be common with Mudge), but some of the housing with freshman floors/areas next year will be freshman only the next year, which means you won’t be able to retain building. Also, Morewood E-tower is considered separate from the rest of Morewood for housing purposes, so you can’t building retain into A-D towers. Is there a particular dorm you’re asking about?</p>
<p>for some reason i can’t fill out the housing application online. after i signed in i can’t start the application process like clicking the personal information,housing pref. and so on.
and also besides that, my decision have disappeared online.
is anyone else having this problem?</p>
<p>What browser are you using? Maybe it doesnt work with firefox or netscape??? Can you try a different computer???</p>
<p>Firefox 2.0.0.14 works - I know there was some information as to what browser levels worked - don’t remember where I saw it.</p>
<p>ok so son got everything entered - but the dining form isn’t up. are you all submitting without the dining info???</p>
