<p>How bad is North Campus and how liekly is a freshman to get it if he does not choose a roommate?</p>
<p>north campus is definitely not fun, taking the busses everywhere sucks. my understanding is that going in blind greatly increases your chances of being on central.</p>
<p>So, what are all the dorms at Michigan? And how do they rank, as in which one do most people prefer and which ones aren’t that loved?</p>
<p>I heard mojo is the nicest in terms of room quality and location…and Markley has the best social scene for freshman. I actually heard that Baites rooms are some of the biggest on campus, but no one wants to live there because of its location.</p>
<p>I don’t know how they do it these days, but you couldn’t just pick, or even rank, all the dorms when you did your housing app. in my day. You rank Central/Hill, Bursley, and Baits (I suggest you do it in that order).</p>
<p>yea thats what I did. I got mine in by the first deadline and I didnt request a roomate so im hoping i got a good shot for central</p>
<p>North Campus has its ups and downs…some of my friends got stuck there for freshman year and they didn’t hate it. Baits does have nice rooms and suite-style bathrooms that you can get as a first-year, whereas I’m pretty sure the only place on Central/Hill with those are in North Quad…specifically reserved for upperclassmen.</p>
<p>The rooms in East Quad and South Quad are definitely largest of all the Central/Hill dorms, and along with West Quad are the best in terms of their location. </p>
<p>Most of the Hill dorms are nice, too…minus Markley. It is a great place to meet other freshmen, since the dorm is all first year students, but…the rooms are closet-sized and I have heard stories about cockroaches.</p>
<p>^The major negative (that outweighs any positive) that you failed to mention is the need to take the bus. Eats up a lot of your day during the week (or causes you to have to spend your entire day on central until the end of your last class) and basically creates a curfew on the weekends (unless you have a place to crash). There are also no decent restaurants up there.</p>
