<p>Hey everyone, i just got my Michigan housing application, and i was wondering which dorm people generally think is best for freshman year. I was thinking mary markley, but i am not sure. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The only University Housing available as of yesterday when I called are the Baits houses and Northwood apartments.</p>

<p>There are a number of threads on this, but I’ll try to recap. Freshmen do not get to choose a specific dorm to live in. In your application you have three PREFERENCES to chose from. 1. Central/Hill 2. Bursley (On North Campus) 3. Baits (On North Campus)</p>
<p>These are your choices, but your choice is not guaranteed.</p>
<p>How can there only be two housing options left when the lottery for Freshman hasn’t even taken place yet?</p>
<p>I think Sparrow1 was referring to housing for transfer students. Housing for freshman/returning upperclassmen is completely different than housing for transfers. Transfer students may have only two options - that seems likely, since housing isn’t guaranteed for transfers, and we usually get the short end of the housing stick anyway - but freshman housing has not been assigned yet.</p>
<p>You pretty much get assigned randomly since almost everyone puts central, bursley, baits as their prefs. 60% of freshmen end up on north campus and a lot on central are in living communities.</p>
<p>West Quad and South Quad are the best housing in terms of location. I lived in West Quad and could not have been happier with it. However, its usually a mix of freshman and sophomores, and there are a lot of athletes as well.</p>
