<p>I wish I could have put Harrison Freshman experience as my 4th choice behind the houses in the quad. I think Penn needs some readjustments to their housing system.</p>

<p>OMG! Im so ****ed off...I like wrote this amazing 800-word essay for a residential program cuz I it just said that it "SHOULD" not 'must' be less than 500 and like every sentence was totally worth it and then the housing application doesn let me put more than 500 words into it!!! argh</p>
<p>in gregory whats the difference between a quad (4 Bedroom) and a quad (4 Bedroom, LR)???</p>
<p>how hard is it for freshmen to get into the highrises? and specifically, how much harder is it to get the specific room types in the highrises?</p>
<p>and is the deadline for the first round midnight ON May 1st, or midnight April 30th?</p>
<p>hey new poster here. do you need to write an essay for the freshmen exprience program because in the housing guide i got in the mail there was a star next to it noting no essay needed for first years but on the website it gives an essay topic</p>
<p>1.Hill Single (Medical Care)
2.Riepe Double (Mentors Program)
3.Ware Double
4.Fisher Double
5.Hill Single
6.Stouffer Single
7.King's Court Double (Perspectives in Humanities)</p>
<p>love428 - the price of course!
Seriously though, there is a pretty big difference...quad with LR (I had one) all the bedrooms are the same size (I think it's the same size as the small rooms in regular quads) so there's no fighting, swapping or paying anybody off. In addition you get a huge living room with a couch and a dining table and a couple of easy chairs. There's a bathroom and a walk in closet, plus an alcove which may or may not have an extra sink in it. Regular quads are much more linearly organised: you have a bathroom, a second sink, smaller closets and all the bedrooms opening off a corridor. Also you have two small rooms, one enormous room and one medium sized rooms. Theoretically you're supposed to switch into one of the bigger rooms second semester if you have a small room, but most people generally work out a system involving money or extensive chores so they don't switch.</p>
<p>lynerjy, your "5. Hill Single" choice was a COMPLETE waste of chances gettin into the last two. It is completely useless there, since if you don't get into the hill single in your first round, you wount get there in the 5th for sure (If u do not get into the RES. Program, your room choice still goes into the lottery as your number one!)</p>
<p>Fufighter, what I know for sure is that you can put the freshmen experience program at the end of your choices without an essay. So lets say you have like 4 first choices selected, then keep on clicking 'next' until you get to a section asking if you want a last chance residential program, and there it is!! If its ur first choice, then maybe you need to write an essay, but really doubt it.</p>
<p>freshmen do not have to write an essay for the freshmen experience...a text box will automatically come up for those that require essays</p>
<p>"in gregory whats the difference between a quad (4 Bedroom) and a quad (4 Bedroom, LR)?"</p>
<p>In Gregory, freshmen all live in 4-bedroom quads. LR = living room; there are very few of those rooms, and they're always given to upperclassmen due to priority.</p>
<p>a friend of mine applied in the following order:</p>
<p>1) Gregory 4-B Quad
2) Rodin 2-B Double
3) Harnwell 2-B Double
4) Rodin 1-B Double
5) Harnwell 1-B Double
6) Rodin 3-B Quad
Harrison Freshman Experience</p>
<p>upenn_rocks:</p>
<p>Yeah my 7th choice is really my 5th choice.. but i put in the singles cos those are the only things i'd be happier with than a place in PiH, and i'd thought i'd just give it a shot. (:</p>
<p>thanks Upenn_Rocks and dyx for the info!</p>
