<p>is this possible?
i have a single in wolman and but i think i might to live in building a and b now.
um lol should i just leave it alone or is it possible to switch?</p>
<p>I think you’ll be fine either way, but you can call and ask I guess</p>
<p>Try to switch if it matters that much</p>
<p>im pretty sure that wolman and buildings a/b cost the same</p>
<p>Yeah IIRC, Wolman, A/B, McCoy should cost the same. Only the AMR’s are cheaper.</p>
<p>the thing is that i have a SINGLE IN WOLMAN…thats like $925 more per semester than if i was in the amrs…or maybe even more if i had a triple in building a/b.
i am willing to downgrade to a triple in a/b if that is possible…is this unheard of?
omg i should just call but i dont want to seem stupid lol</p>
<p>Yeah you really should call if you want an answer</p>
<p>This is not a question that can be answered on College Confidential. The only way you can get an answer to your question is by calling the Housing Office directly and speaking about your personal situation. In the end the answer will probably be No, as once housing assignments are set changes are not made for reasons such as cost.</p>
<p>I always come to CC to see if people have had similar experiences for I can know what to expect.
But I called housing and it really wasn’t a problem.
She took my name down and put me on the wait list for my new choice. Since I am downgrading, my wait shouldn’t be as long.</p>
<p>I also need to mention that the people who answer the phone at Hopkins are so nice and patient. I’m not used to that lol</p>
<p>i would have loved a single in wolmannnn, but my roommate seems nice so…</p>
<p>guys just a strong suggestion about picking dorms. Seriously, never ever never ever apply for AMRs. It is full of pretty disgusting mice. I have caught 6 so far and had to throw every single one of them out by myself. My stuff is all contaminated because mice ate all my food and went inside all my belongings. This is a horrible dorm and seriously, I have no idea how I survived. If you get AMR, you will see mice falling from the ceiling to your bed when you’re sleeping…</p>
<p>it might be a bit more money, but honestly, a single in Wolman is well worth getting a job a Hopkins… some of my friends have them and they are amazing. They’re usually bigger than your side of the room in a double and really nice because you have temperature control and complete privacy.</p>
<p>Just a quick questions, when you get accepted to JHU, do you get assigned to your dorms based on your financial needs (for example: the more support you need, the lower quality your dorm is)?</p>
<p>From the description, AMR sounds pretty horrible to me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Financial needs has nothing to do with housing assignments. Enrolling freshmen will complete housing preference forms during the late spring and will have the chance to list their preferences between the AMRs, Wolman Hall, and Buildings A/B. The housing office attempts to meet a student’s preferences, but assignments are done through a random sort. </p>

<p>Don’t let one of two people sway your opinion about dorms you’ve never seen or lived in. Get a wider range of opinions, visit campus during an admitted student even and tour the dorms, and visit the Hopkins CRIBS page for dorm videos. Also, there are a lot more opinions posted here: [url=<a href=“Taiga”>Taiga]Housing[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Current AMR resident here. There are definitely a range of opinions on housing, and I would urge prospective / accepted students to look at all the options. I personally have had no problems with mice/insects/rodents (sorry kyesfu I hope you got the problem taken care of). The AMRs have a very different feel than Wolman / McCoy / Building A & B due to the non-suite style of the dorms. One isn’t necessarily better than the other for every person. Think carefully about your dorm choice and answer the housing questionairre accurately. Ask current students, browse the housing website, look at the cribs videos, and visit.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So true. I checked out JHU forum and AMR sounds great! It seems to be the most socialable dorm at JHU, and haven’t heard anybody mentioned anything about mice yet. Kyesfu hope you got the mice problem taken care of…</p>
<p>Oh and do you receive housing info/ questionnaire along with admission offer?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. Housing information is sent to student who accept their offer of admission and choose to enroll. Early Decision enrolling students receive access to their housing questionnaire at the end of March and Regular Decision enrolling students receive access to the questionnaire by late May.</p>
<p>Thanks for clarifying, AdmissionsDan. It’s good to know that need has no effect on where a student is placed. But the OP and others seemed to suggest that some dorms are less expensive to live in than others. Is that true? And if so, doesn’t that have an effect on who lives where?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The differences in price are minimal:
[Oncampus:</a> Rates](<a href=“http://www.jhu.edu/hds/oncampus/rates.html]Oncampus:”>http://www.jhu.edu/hds/oncampus/rates.html)</p>
<p>Well, minimal to some, I guess. I’m just wondering, what is the rationale behind charging more for certain dorms? Why would some dorms be considered worth more? And how does this factor work with kids who are getting aid? </p>
<p>Also, are freshmen randomly assigned to dorms, or are they asked “So, how much do you want to spend on housing?”</p>
