<p>How does this look? Academics are my priority, but I would like to have some fun my first year.</p>
<li>Unit 1 Double</li>
<li>Unit 2 Double</li>
<li>Foothill Double Suite</li>
<li>Foothill Triple Suite</li>
<li>Foothill Quad Suite</li>
</ol>
<p>then stay away from foothill...</p>
<p>There's an official dormitory thread on the second page which would be useful for you.</p>
<p>If you would like some fun generally the units are more social, while Foothill is generally more quiet.</p>
<p>Well, I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too. Unit 1 Double and Unit 2 Double are my top two choices because they seem to be the best balance between fun and studying. But then I get stuck with the last three choices.</p>
<p>Unit 3 seems a little too social for me, Clark Kerr is too far away and I don't think I'd like Bowles either. As far as Foothill, I like that it's generally quiet, but from what I hear it's anti-social and far from much of the campus. Still, I think I'd still prefer too quiet to too loud or too far, and, from what I hear, I could always come down to the Units to socialize. I want to major in chemistry, so I will be studying quite a lot.</p>
<p>Perhaps this order would be better:</p>
<ol>
<li>Unit 1 Double</li>
<li>Unit 2 Double</li>
<li>Unit 1 Double (Freeborn)</li>
<li>Foothill Double Suite</li>
<li>Foothill Triple Suite</li>
</ol>
<p>I think I'd be fine with the substance free aspect, so wouldn't this give me a greater chance of ending up in one of the units?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Unit 3 is pretty old and the facilities aren't as nice.</p>
<p>You could do Freeborn...I don't know much about it.</p>
<p>Foothill is okay. I think Clark Kerr is pretty far and generally had to get as a freshman.</p>
<p>Bowles from what I hear isn't great.</p>
<p>I think your first list or your revised list is okay. Seems like you really don't want triples. :p</p>
<p>are triples that bad? im trying to think what to put for my last two choices after doubles in each of the units</p>
<p>how "bad" do you think they are?</p>
<p>i have a friend who lives in foothill...she says it pretty good</p>
<p>well id really rather be in the res halls than suites but i dont know if its worth the triples</p>
<p>You still didn't explain what you mean by "bad." Hard to help you if you aren't going to explain that.</p>
<p>overcrowded</p>
<p>my friend recommends unit 1 for bio majors, she also says unit 3 is too old and foothill is kinna expensive and far from campus</p>
<p>well technically, foothill's not far from campus - in fact, it's right across the street from campus, only it's the northeast corner of campus.</p>
<p>"unit 1 for bio majors" ? why? i mean unit 1's got a nice location but i don't see the connection to bio majors.</p>
<p>ahahah, how should i know? i mean, i asked her for a recommendation and she asked me what her major was so i told her is was bio...she said, "then you should go for unit 1" yep....</p>
<p>you don't want to live in a triple in the units. triple in units = very crowded. unit 1 substance free is noticeably quieter than rest of unit 1.</p>
