<p>Hey I just got in a week ago and I was wondering what would be the best option for housing?</p>
<p>how did you get in a week ago??</p>
<p>I applied in early October and when they got the transcript i got in</p>
<p>My son got in too after 3 weeks. He is going there this weekend to walk around & check distances, see a few rooms. Forms can go in Mon. 10/24. GO for it!!</p>
<p>six pack if you want partying
ISR if you want studying
Allen if your artsey
Busey/Evans if you want all female
PAR/FAR if you want to party hard and walk a mile to each class</p>
<p>Apex2's descriptions are pretty accurate. ISR has a lot of upperclassmen and engineers, while 6-pack has parties and PAR/FAR have freshmen.</p>
<p>Any more comments about housing/ the descriptions of the dorms like apex2 replied?</p>
<p>bump.........</p>
<p>My brother is right now a freshman and he lives in Trelease which is one of 2 buildings that is jointly connected to a center part which has the caffeteria, mailboxes, and etc. Its is florida ave. Its like a 5 minute walk from there to the football and basketball stadiums. I went to visit him last weekend and enjoyed myself a lot. There is a lot of friendly people to talk to and a lot of diversity if you like that. And its only a 5-10 minute bus ride to the " 6 pack" which is where all the frats and parties are at. I don't think its that expensive either.</p>
<p>whats the six-pack?</p>
<p>Six dorms near each other on the west side of campus -- Scott, Snyder, Weston, Forbes, Garner, and Hopkins.</p>
<p>well i got in a month ago, going into aerospace engineering...guess its time to apply for housing...I'm still stuck between which URH i should go...and there's the factor of whether i should wait for my friends so i can pick the same hall, or start a new life from scratch...</p>
<p>I'm not gonna lie, I used to party in high school and I definately will make up for what I didn't do in college. I'm thinking about FAR because its air conditioned and its a party dorm, so I'll have fun and meet a lot of new people, but it lives up to its name cause its really far from the engineering school...</p>
<p>that and I'll be tempted not to use headphones when I watch TV or play video games...and my DDR pad makes a lot of noise in my house, but I emailed housing and they said floor to floor noise is minimal because the frame is made of steel and concrete...</p>
<p>decisions, decisions....a little help here?</p>
<p>i think its ppl like u otaku that im worried about. its 2 am and im trying to get sleep cuz i hav a midterm tomorrow and by golly my neighboring hallmate is playing DDR while the clsuters of others in his room are doing a mixture of DDR, scarfing down cold congealed pizza, listening to the bleeping and obnoxious and loud rap music, and of course drinking up shots which poor me i hear as chug! chug! chug! Not to mention the ppl running around in the hallways.
::sigh::</p>
<p>lol that sounds like me alright, just replace the rap music with techno and that'll be me in a year</p>
<p>now i talked to a guy who used to live in FAR and he told me he played for hours on end all year and never had a complaint...so I'm thinking as long as i keep the volume down to a minimum (or at least try, haha) we won't have any problems, or maybe I could work something out with my neighbors, I'd let them come over and play...anyway the six pack is the big party dorm according to this other person i talked to, and if they're gonna be partying hard then my pad is fair game =P</p>
<p>well atleast u hav a plan otaku lol</p>
<p>any more comments/ suggestions? does it really matter what u get?</p>
<p>I live in FAR(Trelease) right now and honestly besides it being far from most the action(frats, bars, the quad), its not as bad as people would have you believe. </p>
<p>The rooms are actually somewhat comfortable if you arrange it right, plus we're close to the arboretum(kind of like a densely populated forest with lots of different plants and greenery). Trust me stuff goes down over there for sure. </p>
<p>Also the buses are for the most part efficient, so location isn't as big of a problem as people think. By the way, as far as partying goes, PAR, even though its mad ghetto, definitly is up to par with the six pack.</p>
<p>lol, i said up to par.</p>
<p>Got any more questions holla</p>
<p>yea soul brotha another question im considering allen is that a good choice? i.e. anything that i should know about b4 making the desicion?</p>
<p>oo also does the whole bunkbed thing work or can u arrange them seperately or does that take up too much space?</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure i remember reading you can have the beds separate if you want</p>
