<p>After freshman year, do many students live on campus at CMU? Also, is housing guaranteed after freshman year?</p>
<p>Unless something has changed since 2008 then as long as you stay in campus housing you are guaranteed. If you leave campus housing and want to come back you take your chances.</p>
<p>Thanks. I know that at most schools, by senior year students tend to move off campus. My question is whether sophomores and juniors tend to live on campus at CMU.</p>
<p>lots of sophomores and juniors move into frat houses after freshman year. Some rent houses near campus and split it with others. But I think, many many people still live on campus.</p>
<p>most sophomores get piled into fairfax, shady oak, and morewood. At least, that’s where 90% of the people I know are, with the other 10% being on Beeler or in frat/sorority houses. The frats/sororities seem pretty comparatively small; the largest of them have probably 50 members. Only a few of my friends actually moved into a real house in Shadyside, and I think that’s because they’re design kids and secretly wanted to decorate.</p>
<p>I think junior year is the year where people really start moving out, although junior and senior year is also when you start to have a good shot at getting into Wesnik, so I’m planning to hold out. :)</p>
<p>My son lived on campus freshman and sophomore year and lived in a very nice house off campus last year with three other students. He said once you move out it’s basically impossible to move back into the dorms. He’s going to live in a 1BR apt by himself this year, mostly because he was too clueless to look for friends to live with. (The house he was in was sold, and two of his housemates were seniors.)</p>
<p>DS stayed in Donner, Mudge, and 2 yrs in Morewood (same room). He enjoyed the activity of the dorms. Even today he stays in a dorm like shared housing arrangement. He lived across country and furnishing an apt is a hassle. He did stay one summer-apt, in Pitt and in the process lost shoes and a suit. A very expensively cheap stay summer.</p>
