<p>Anyone have an opinon on the two dorms?</p>
<p>if it helps, I'm looking for a dorm where the students are more lively and there is something always going on.</p>
<p>i heard mesa court was better but theres no evidence to back that statement up</p>
<p>hi. mesa court rooms are about 4 sq feet bigger. middle earth is closer to any of your classes except art/drama/dance. my hall in mesa is pretty dead but the hall right next to us is lively. so it depends more on which hall you live in. in my opinion, i think mesa court kids are nicer and more down to earth. my best suggestion is to visit both to see which one you like.</p>
<p>middle earth has better food, mesa court has better dorms IMO</p>
<p>For freshman year, which dorm should I choose for my first choice? And do you get to choose your hall too? If so, which hall is best overall?</p>
<p>when do u pick which dorm u want and roomates?</p>
<p>I lived in Mesa so I'm gonna recommend Mesa. But if you ask someone who lived in Middle they'd probably say Middle. My advice is to go to campus and tour both and pick which one you like better.</p>
<p>I just looked around campus today and I think I like Mesa more. I used to like Middle Earth, but after seeing Mesa it just looked really...small.</p>
<p>The Mesa Court descriptions on the UCI web site don't mention having DSL in the rooms, is that true? The Middle Earth description says "some" rooms have internet connectivity. I was really surprised all the dorm rooms wouldn't have it, or am I misreading the room desriptions?</p>
<p>Every room in mesa and middle has internet connectivity. Some rooms even have wireless connection</p>
<p>Thanks, I misread lack of wireless for lack of basic connectivity.</p>
<p>sneak1eeone- In May, I believe, after the SIR/SLR deadline</p>
<p>are all the dorms about the same? i checked and some halls have a fireplace or a game room etc...wat are the drastic differences?? oo hmmm...food is also an important aspect of my life =) i wonder which commons has better food?</p>
<p>middle earth has better food. i get lunch almost everyday in middle earth.</p>
<p>Can you eat in the Middle Earth facility even if you live in Mesa?</p>
<p>^ I'd like to know about that too! and also, can we go to the ME gym? Because I plan on rooming in MC, and the ARC is aaaaaall the way across campus.</p>
<p>if you just take the time next year and walk wherever you need to go on campus and don't eat a ton of food, you won't need the arc.</p>
<p>you can eat anywhere, but for the gym, I think it's only for ME residents</p>
<p>if we already submitted our housing application, is there a way to change where we applied? like, if we made AV our first choice and the residential halls second... can we change that? or does that matter?</p>
<p>yes you can. i think you can change stuff up to may or maybe even after that.</p>
