<p>How out of the loop are North Campus Students?</p>
<p>I'm being forced to take up housing in Bursley Hall for my first year. Is it bad there?</p>
<p>I really wanted to be in Central.</p>
<p>Do I miss much? Or is it just that I have to make a bigger effort to participate in most activities?</p>
<p>Some would agree</p>

<p>It didn’t seem too bad when I visited. </p>
<p>Also, you already heard from housing? How early did you submit your app?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That article is about Northwood apartments, not Bursley. Northwood apartments are indeed far more isolated than a huge dorm like Bursley. That’s done purposely, as they are where older grad students, often with families, live.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. It’s highly exaggerated. You will be on Central, all the time. The worst part will be taking the bus back at night. That’ll be annoying, but that’s the extent of how bad it is.</p>
<p>first off, DRMAN I remember you from the Cornell board. So Congrats on choosing Michigan (we should have a Cornell reject meet up)! </p>
<p>How do you know your dorm assignment already?</p>
<p>I didn’t hear from housing yet… I didn’t even apply to housing yet lol.</p>
<p>BUT I am participating in the M-STEM academy and part of the contract states that I must take up housing in Bursley for the first year.</p>
<p>“we should have a Cornell reject meet up”
lmao, I’m glad I’m not the only one. But I’m fine with either choice!</p>
<p>I’m currently a freshmen Engineer living in North Campus. That having been said, I would recommend freshmen to live in Central or Hill area, unless you have enough credits to take Engineering core courses beginning your fall freshmen year. As an freshmen engineer, I still had to take many classes at central, so it was bit of a hassle to take the bus everywhere. I got used to it, but for those who are more socially active, I would recommend central campus.</p>
<p>Well, I’m not coming to Michigan until the fall, but I came to visit last weekend over Amaizin Blue Preview. I made a bunch of friends that live in North and Central Campus. Really, you should only live in North Campus if you’re doing Engineering and even if you are it is really quiet there. Apparently you can see tons of wildlife if you’re into that kind of thing haha. But yeah, North Campus is a lot quieter than Central and you might be a little farther away from everything than other people are. But if you’re doing LSA or pretty much anything else I would recommend Central. You’ll be right by your classes, near all the shops, and there are tons of people there. If you decide to live in Central, I’ve heard that Markley and Mojo are the best dorms there! </p>
<p>I heard Bursley was a really nice dorm for North Campus though.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard many good things about staying on North campus.</p>
<p>yeah, i have heard from alumni that north is where the nerds go to hit the books, while central is more lively. I personally want to get central for frosh year, but i am thinking that the rest of college, i will want to goto north so I can pay more attn to the harder classes etc. and be close to my engineering classes. </p>
<p>btw def on the ppl chosing cornell over mich meet up! lol</p>
<p>I have actually been to North campus(during xmas)…(engineering building, there is an music one also)… As I remember correctly, North Cam is really really quiet with some asian students…</p>
<p>btw… I recognize you DRMAN54 from Cornell BOARD as well…</p>
<p>North campus also houses the School of Music and Theater, so lots of opportunities to see shows!</p>
<p>hey I"m a newly admitted transfer student, and I have to apply before May 1 ( still didn’t start yet, ah!!!) , where should I choose to live in: the only options were Max Kade German Residence, Northwood, and Henderson House. I want to live as close to central as possible! someone help!</p>
<p>Try University Towers.</p>
<p>very funny.haha :]
but seriously help? anyone?</p>
<p>Goblue wasn’t joking…</p>
<p>In addition, look into Tower Plaza - a more sophisticated, upscale alternative to UT. Located in the heart of central campus, right off State St.</p>
