<p>haven't received my contract yet. does this mean north campus for sure?</p>
<p>I committed to north campus a while ago because I am out of state and don’t know anywhere in the area I could get if housing ran out (I’m a transfer student and that was a running problem at my old school). But, before I did that, I called the housing office and they actually told me that some spots DO end up opening up later in the summer. In fact, some people wait this late strategically. Just check every day.</p>
<p>It does not mean North Campus for sure. The housing assignments can be somewhat random.</p>
<p>My daughter got a contract for a double in Markley yesterday (6/27) so it isn’t too late for the Hill. She is ecstatic. However, she is a freshman and I don’t know how things work for transfers.</p>
<p>Any thought on a triple in the West Dorm (Quad)
I would think a triple is more of a headache for an incoming freshman.
One more potential conflict of interest than a double and possibly one more roomie that snores. Should my son consider a double >?? How would he switch to another area besides North? Thanks</p>
<p>teg4rvn, your son should stay in the triple at West Quad. It is a very desirable dorm for freshmen, being at the heart of central campus and connected to the Union building. Even though it is old, it’s pretty classy in my opinion and the rooms are huge and have perks such as sinks. Triples are good for freshmen since you already have 2 people you can hang out with at least in the beginning so it will feel less lonely. Also, you can save some money. He can try swapping for a double on central but his only option would probably be Markley, which is a lot further away from classes than West and has tiny rooms. This is because the other dorms on central are renovated and the kids in them would be less likely to have any reason to switch.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>It does help . Thank you.
When I went to college I was in a suite with two doubles and a common room. My room mate was a nightmare and I could not imagine having two bad room mates. It just seems to me there is to much chemistry that has to work for a triple to be successful or maybe I am making a mountain from a molehill.
Has anyone been in one of these triples and how was your experience? Thanks</p>
<p>I am am incoming freshman and finally received my housing contract for Northwood III apts. This was my absolute last choice of where to live. Anyone have experience in getting their housing changed? I really want to be in dorm even if it’s bursley. How bad is Northwood III and what is FYE?</p>
<p>I lived on north last year in Bursley and knew a lot of ppl in Northwood. What I found was if you come in expecting it to be a bad experience, it will be a bad experience. These are actual apartments meant for graduate students or upper-level undergrads. Yes, you will get more space for what you pay and have your own kitchen, bath and living room but you really don’t need these your first year of college. The apartments are pretty old tpo. It’s better to live in a traditional residence hall because it’s more social. Plus the location of Northwood is really bad as you need to walk 10 mins just to get to the dining hall.</p>
<p>But luckily there are people who want more privacy who would switch from Bursley to Northwood. Just check the Michigan Facebook pages and Room Swap on the housing website</p>
