<p>Hello, accepted yesterday, plan on attending.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet, so that may answer a few of my questions....</p>
<p>I was just wondering about housing. I looked at the residence halls on the Cornell site and I decided I'd like to live in Court Hall or Mews Hall. Are these always the most requested (air conditioning and age caught my attention)? Have any of you ever lived in them or have opinions?</p>
<p>I was also wondering when I receive email and such.</p>
<p>im sorry to say that you have no choice as to where Cornell will put you, the forms just have a few questions about preference (ie you are an early bird, or go to bed late, you like a messy room or clean room, etc), nothing about which dorm you would like to live in, i could be mistaken, but i think it is this way, try not to get hopes up, but there is still the possibility you will get one of those</p>
<p>the housing forms are online right now, i think there is another thread about this already, so you could check there, that is where i got my information about what questions the housing forms had</p>
<p>psquared is right. D is freshmen. You answer a few questions, Cornell does the rest. (at least that is how it was last year). She's in Jameson (one of the high risers). Suite-like dorms- close to Purcell. She's happy. Good luck to all. PS. If your parents haven't made reservations in hotel for Freshmen Orientation in August tell them to do it ASAP. Also if they want to go up for Parent's week-end in October, they should make reservations now. Some hotels in Ithaca will give out forms in August to reserve a room for Graduation 2009--I kid you not-- I already have my reservation for graduation 2008.</p>
<p>Pay attention to this, you'll thank me for this later:</p>
<p>On the housing application form, do NOT put that you would like to be in a single-sex floor or building.</p>
<p>Why? If you're a guy, it means you'll be stuck in a low-rise building. The low rises SUCK for socializing. I was in LR7 my freshman year and the only people I became friends with were 2 people that lived around me and my roommate. I ended up spending more time at Mews and Donlon than I did in my own room.</p>
<p>If you're a girl, that means you're in Balch. That's not necessarily a bad thing if you want to live in a huge building of girls, I guess.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me if you can choose whether or not to live in the townhouses?</p>
<p>Since the Statler is Booked for Orientation,
Your Parents might like this B&B - It is on the South Hill by Ithaca College (about a 15 minute drive back to Cornell), but we stayed there last year and liked it a lot. A little more interestng than the typical Motel and not that much more expensive.</p>
<p>hey shizz..i dunno if u will know this or not but do u know the BEST way to get into court or mews?? i want a single room but if it is worth it ill go double in court or mews...lol...im picky..so waht.. and if u really think u know a way...PM me so others can't do the same thing and then we're back to square one. Also...maybe u could ask ur fellow cornellians who were in court or mews what the put for the answeres to the questions.? mayeb as we can use our engineering sense to find out a high probabilistic way (based on pattern ) to increase those chances, .olol,</p>
<p>Relax... you can't chose your dorm, there is no formula. Cornell is very strict about not honoring specific dorm requests. Once you are moved in, you will feel at home in any of the dorms. You will make lifelong friends and the building you are living in will not make or break your experience at Cornell.</p>
