In your opinion, what is the best Housing for second years, and up?

<p>What do you think?
VdC, norte, CV, or AV?
Pros and Cons?</p>

<p>I'm just wondering.
Thanks!!!</p>

<p>My biggest grasps and gripes…</p>

<p>VDC Pro: Bigger single rooms for the money and big kitchen/common room = fun parties</p>

<p>Norte Pro: Big double rooms
Con: Small single rooms</p>

<p>AV Pro: Similar Interest</p>

<p>CV Con: Aesthetically unpleasing community</p>

<p>VDC for sure… I think VDC is generally cheaper than Norte unless you get the shared room at Norte. the rooms and beds are much smaller at Norte though. at Norte it’s also a lot easier for Duty to catch parties because of how the apartments are laid out (like hotels). also VDC and Norte just have nice community centers… [check</a> out pictures here](<a href=“http://www.vistadelcampo.com%5Dcheck”>http://www.vistadelcampo.com) If you can afford it, live in VDC.</p>

<p>CV is pretty bad from what I hear, but it’s the only one that’s like right on campus.
It’s probably easier to meet people in AV. </p>

<p>I’m not sure about pricing when comparing VDC/Norte to CV and AV though.</p>

<p>does anyone else have any other opinions??</p>

<p>In my opinion, you should follow where your friends are living…cant have fun with out them…Anyhow, I live in VDC, and my BIGGEST pet peeves is that that internet connection slows down frequently…and the showers run out of hot water real fast between 6-10pm. Otherwise its a nice place to live, close to the arc, however far from the markets and fast food.</p>

<p>haha norte doesnt have a hot water problem :stuck_out_tongue: the internet used to suck so bad i wanted to tear my eyes out, but ever since they switched to COX it got way better. however i do miss the cinemax channels and national geographic… they removed it from our cable package :(</p>

<p>worst thing about vdc/vdc norte… if youre on AT&T… you’re screwed. you have to place your phone against the window to get a signal, and go outside to have an actual phone call. when i walk around norte, there are always phones against the window screens, and at least one person outside speaking loudly on their phone haha</p>

<p>Camino del Sol is opening and may just be the best yet. Worth a look if they have any spots left.</p>

<p>Camino del Sol is beautiful, but parking is far. Most residents have to use the parking structure by the ARC.</p>

<p>VDC’s internet has gotten better, I haven’t noticed any problems after they fixed the new Cox internet. I live in VDC and I haven’t experienced the lack of hot water problem, but idk.
The AT&T service problem is also true, especially if you live on the first floor. When I’m on the 3rd floor I don’t have as much of a problem, but the 1st floor i can’t even send texts… lol.</p>

<p>and Camino may be pretty, but it’s expensive. i think VDC is more worth the price than Camino Del Sol. (e.g. cheaper for a private bathroom at VDC, and the other VDC leases are generally cheaper). i don’t think living in a brand new townhome is worth the price difference. there may be washers + dryers in the homes Camino but it’s still not worth the increase in cost and hassle of parking… but that’s just me!</p>

<p>If you have a few roommates a UTC apartment isn’t too bad i think it’s cheaper too</p>
