<p>Ill be a freshman next fall, Wharton class of 2012. J
I have some questions about the housing process
I think I prefer to live in a single room with a private bathroom. What are my chances to get one?
Do I need to apply to some of the Residential Programs in order to increase my chances? </p>
<p>Another big question is about the houses Which house should I chose if I dont really want to live in the Quad? </p>
<li><p>I read about Harrison College House - the Freshmen Experience.
How can I apply for that program?
Maybe someone can tell me more about it?
The thing is that I read that freshmen may not be eligible for all room types what does it mean? How can I know if I can get a single at Harrison or not?</p></li>
<li><p>And what about Harnwell College House? The International Program seems nice to me cause Im an international student. </p></li>
<li><p>What about Stouffer Mayer? Are there for freshmen at all?</p></li>
<li><p>Sansom West? East? Are there any freshmen?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Im having trouble choosing which houses I should apply for maybe someone can help me here??!?!?!</p>
<p>you'll receive a mailing with all the information you need to apply.</p>
<p>the housing application is done online, at which time you can select your choice of 2 residential programs, plus 6 regular choices if you are not accepted to either program.</p>
<p>there are freshmen in mayer; it's actually a very coveted place because the rooms are large and well-furnished, but the location is not the best.</p>
<p>freshmen are not allowed to live in sansom west, where upperclassmen and graduate students live, and sansom east is practically all graduate students.</p>
<p>The likelihood of you getting a single with a private bathroom is extremely low..I don't even know if it's possible for a freshman. </p>
<p>You can apply for the Freshman Experience and you'd probably have a pretty good chance of getting in because I don't think it's that popular. Basically you live on a floor with all or mostly all freshman in Harrison, a house which is otherwise all upperclassmen. It's not a particularly social environment, from what I've heard, but it's supposed to be good for studying and apparently the people in the program bond a lot. I'm pretty sure you can't get a typical single because all the rooms are suite-style, but you could get a single within a suite. I don't think you can request it though.</p>
<p>Basically the same as Harrison. Almost everyone living in the high rises is an upperclassman, so it's not a great way to meet a lot of people, but if you don't care about that then it's probably a better study environment than some of the freshman dorms and it'll be much nicer accommodations. </p>
<p>I think you should apply for housing in the high rises, Mayer, and maybe look into Gregory. Do not apply for Hill because I'm pretty sure you'd hate it.</p>
<p>^ Good answer, and I'm currently in the Freshman Experience program. There are two possibilities for freshmen in Harrison:</p>
<p>(1) single-bedroom double: one bedroom, two people. includes a bathroom, not sure if it includes a kitchen/living room.
(2) three-bedroom quad: three bedrooms, four people. there are two single bedrooms and one double, as well as a living room/kitchen/bathroom. you have to switch after first semester so that everyone has a chance to get a single.</p>
