<p>I just saw a bunch of scattered dorm threads so I thought I would make one where everyone can ask their questions.
To get things started I was wondering what some pros and cons were to Manzanita vs San Rafael dorms (I'll be transferring). From what I've gathered Manzanita has bigger, newer, better dorms but can be rather anti-social, which isn't a huge problem cuz I shouldn't have problems making friends anyways. Any other thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>which one is the suite-like dorm? Any single bedrooms?</p>
<p>From my research on the housing website, it looks like San Rafael has suite like dorms for transfers/continuing students.</p>
<p>is San Rafael on campus ?</p>
<p>Yep. Check this map out: [UCSB</a> Housing & Residential Services Map](<a href=“http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/hchoices/housing-map.htm]UCSB”>http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/hchoices/housing-map.htm)</p>
<p>I’m curious too… I’m filling out the housing application tomorrow, but I’m not sure which one to choose :S</p>
<p>I’m a transfer and I’m thinking about living in San Rafael because they have a special floor or building for transfers. But then again Manzanita is RIGHT on the beach.</p>
<p>can you put someone on the waitlist as a roommate preference…and if they dont get in just room with someone random?</p>
