<p>Yeah I chose unit 1 and I’m an engineering major. I did not want foothill even though it is considered the engineering building cuz it sounds lame from what everyone said. But anyhow I want to know how is unit one.</p>
<p>foothill isnt lame...............what kinda feedback have you been getting? unit 1 is the closest to campus, just hope you dont get a triple, or are stuck in one of the 4 buildings, i didnt like unit 1 too much.......but then again, the space in each room in clark kerr has spoiled me.......</p>
<p>where is Clark Kerr exactly?</p>
<p>I wanna pick Unit 1 or 2. Closest and most sociable = instant win.</p>
<p>Can someone give a quick rundown of advs/disadvs of the different dorms?</p>
<p>How about Bowles?</p>
<p>clark kerr is so good that its just off the maps....=P</p>
<p>LoL. When I first came here I was like OMFG Clark Kerr is not even on the map. It's not THAT far away. From Unit 2, you just walk 1 more block uphill and you're at CKC. Unit 3 is pretty good too if you want the units.</p>
<p>Clark Kerr = HUGE. 12x18 rooms? LoL VERY NICE. How about the big 18x18 rooms? Muhahahahahha. Oh and the one with teh walkin closet and the bathroom? =) I have a triple there and I'm glad I got a triple there and not a triple in Unit 1. You can actually put down all 3 beds if you wanted to here.</p>
<p>Unit 1/3 - Closest to campus. Only 1 block away. Unit 3 might be the closest if you use Sproul Plaza as your midpoint. Bus stop right outside Unit 3 so I would say its most convenient. Unit 3 is the loudest place.</p>
<p>Unit 2 is behind Unit 1 separated by a parking lot. You have to walk another 5 min if you live there.</p>
<p>Clark Kerr - FAR, but not THAT far. I live there. A lot of athletes live here, but its not just all athletes. We have a football player upstairs, but other than that they aren't all here. A lot of them live in other buildings. rooms are LARGE.</p>
<p>Foothill - mostly engineers cuz its across st from engineering building. pretty quiet here. a lot of ppl lock up in their rooms to study and don't come out. it's not all silent, but just not as much socializing.</p>
<p>Bowles/Stern - All guys/girls respectively. I don't know much. Bowles looks nice like Harry Potter, but is JUNK inside. That's all.</p>
<p>dude qwerasdf, what building do you live in??</p>
<p>with clark kerr, sometimes, they have some special nights, such as the western regional college food cookoff competetion/convention, where a ton of food critics come to rate the food. so imagine las vegas style buffet............but hilton quality food. cheesecake was definitly orgasmic........it was sooo good it hurt my mouth =(</p>
<p>o wait, this thread is about housing............hmmm......alright clark kerr, yeah the part of the room i have to myself, as in my own private area, is almost the size of a unit room..........and i have the smallest third of my room too............</p>
<p>but is it possible to get in as frosh? I mean, how difficult is it, dmcwhiz, to get into the dorm of your choice?</p>
<p>Clark Kerr sounds perfect. I like the name too. Almost sounds like Superman's alter ego. But you would choose Units 1/2 over it?</p>
<p>Units</p>
<p>3 rooms in a suite
Double mini-suite
double room</p>
<p>Of the three mentioned, are they roomy? Do I get a shared bathroom?</p>
<p>Clark Kerr</p>
<p>triple in a suite
double room</p>
<p>Of the two mentioned, are they roomy? Do I get a shared bathroom?</p>
<p>I heard that there are new dorms for Unit 1 being completed in time for fall 2005. I also heard there are new unit 2 dorms also. Are these regular residence halls or apartments? Anyone have any information on it?</p>
<p>New unit 2 building has apartments but it's not open to lowerclassmen.</p>
<p>is everything else, darkpyr0?</p>
<p>So what exactly are the differences between the units?</p>
<p>Just asking because even though I am EECS major, foothills seems too liberal and nerdy. Clark Kerr seems too far....</p>
<p>I want to live in the Castle I saw on the north side.</p>
<p>Err, there are two dorm halls on the northeast side of campus, Bowles and Foothill.</p>
<p>Bowles may be the castle you're talking about; it is an all-male dorm.</p>
<p>wait just to make sure, i'm sure this has been clarified before, but again, it is NOT first come first serve, right? cuz i haven't applied for housing yet, just because i'm waiting a few things out. i'm pretty sure i want Unit 1. now, i am at NO disadvantage by waiting to apply, correct?</p>
<p>Mandragora: The castle is Bowles. Its all guys. It sucks inside. It's ANCIENT. Trust me. It looks nice, but inside is TINY and horrendous.</p>
<p>Kratos: Its lottery. You apply anytime. It's all random. I applied 6 min before it was due in Freshman yr and this yr I applied like last day too and still got an offer.</p>
<p>wasai-mike: first yr you will be taking chem 1a, math 1a/1b/53? I dunno which ur in, physics 7b? Foothill will be closest, but I live in clark kerr. i take those classes and i dun mind walking ... its ok.</p>
<p>darkpyr0: you can get Unit 2 Wada apartments as sophomores, but your chances are very low. if you have jr standing as a sophomore (we're talking NON AP... jr standing through college credit), then you can have a decent chance. Wada is not worth it. $536 for a tiny triple like that? I'm living in apartments for $562 and its a double 2 bedroom + half room for office. beats the crap out of any uc apartment.</p>
