Language Dorms

<p>Have any current Tar Heels/alumni done language housing? If so, could you tell me about it? The idea is very intriguing, but I wonder if it wouldn't become tiresome after a while. Languages are fun but I know that being immersed 24/7 can get quite stressful. Naturally, this isn't a total immersion situation, but how strict are the requirements? Is it perhaps an experience better saved for a year other than my freshman one? Thanks so much for any advice!</p>

<p>I'm considering French btw, in case that provides any insight.</p>

<p>I know two girls who live in French language housing--they haven't even mentioned having any requirements whatsoever for it. I think they might have movie night every few weeks or something. The dorm (Teague) is nice, but if you're actually serious about French, don't bother.</p>

<p>Thanks so much! Do you think it would be a good idea for a freshman to apply? I'm only concerned because I don't know ANYONE at Chapel Hill, so I wouldn't want to put myself in any sort of anti-social situation.</p>

<p>To be honest, I think all freshmen should live in one of the big South Campus dorms like Ehaus or HoJo..I had a great time in Ehringhaus & made tons of friends in my dorm. South Campus dorms are really social & everyone's in the same boat--just wanting to get to know some people and have a good time their first semester. I live on North Campus this year, and I'm so glad I didn't make that decision last year--the hallway-style set-up definitely isn't the best for meeting people.</p>
