Middle Earth vs. Mesa Court

<p>Mesa has better furniture... =p</p>

<p>hehe this thread makes me giggle....</p>

<p>Hehe... this thread makes me giggle...</p>

<p>So Mesa has bigger rooms and better furniture? Isn't Mesa newer as well?</p>

<p>Yea but if you're a Tolken fan... this could be a very hard decision.</p>

<p>(I'm not a fan.) I'm only having trouble deciding based on the location of ME and Mesa. I'm going to be majoring in Biomed Engineering, so ME will be closer for me. It would sure save me time if I chose ME.</p>

<p>Meh..your freshmen year you have a lot of breadth classes anyway so I don't think it would be worth it to go to either MC or ME because you think your classes will be closer to it. For what its worth though, ME is closer to almost everything on campus except humanities/arts, but it's not a big deal.</p>

<p>is it easy to get a 3 person dorm in mesa court?</p>

<p>I took a tour of the Mesa dorms today and I <3 it. I hope I get to live there next year.</p>

<p>Well during Explore UCI, I took a ME tour. I'll probably end up dorming there since it seems more convenient as it is closer to the campus and judging by what I've heard, Pippen Dining Hall has better food. =D</p>

<p>seriously, Pippen and Mesa Dining Hall are extremely similar. What allows Middle Earth to take the bait on food is Brandywine. All their food is cooked to order and I love it.</p>

<p>I lived in Mesa's newest dorms, the Village, and they are freaking huge. The only bad thing is they have like 5 exits unlike the old dorms that have one so you don't see everyone pass through the entrance every day. Also, they are really far from campus, like a good 10-15 minutes walking.</p>

<p>The reason why middle looks smaller is because Mesa has room to grow while Middle is sort of enclosed.</p>

<p>You lie, Andrew! Stop imposing your LotR propaganda onto prospective students.</p>

<p>I live in Mesa Court now and I really love it. I suggest you pick mesa because you'll live right next to the Bren, so you will just have to cross the street to go to sporting events or concerts like the one they had this year (fall out boy and kanye).</p>

<p>haha actually if you're gonna talk proximity, I'd rather live in middle because it's closer to the ARC. If you're too lazy to walk to the Bren once or twice a year, then I don't know man.</p>

<p>sorry to sound pathetic but what exactly is the ARC?</p>

<p>ARC = Anteater Recreation Center. It's the gym.</p>

<p>MESA:
pros-
- newer and nicer (actually it was opened with UCI according to the website)
- slightly bigger rooms
- more bathrooms and lounge areas (meaning less people sharing)
cons-
- far away
- food not as good
- can't move around furniture (haha not a big deal to me but maybe for some)</p>

<p>MIDDLE:
pros-
- more centralized
- more "social"
- better food in two dining halls
- has a gym</p>

<p>cons-
- older, not as nice (especially the older phases, heard those are badddd)
(Mesa Court should be older but maybe mesa court remodeled or expanded?)</p>

<p>Frankly, I think its a draw between the two residence halls. In the end, I chose Mesa...hopefully it will be the right choice. Who knows?</p>

<p>Yea, I agree. Each is unique in its own ways. Hopefully I'll personally enjoy Mesa with you :].</p>

<p>Sweet man, what hall you choose? I took technology as first choice. Then general.</p>
