<p>so all first years are required to live on campus. i was wondering if the apartments are considered on campus housing.</p>
<p>Yes. If it's listed on the CMU housing stuff, then you can apply to live there. And no matter what you do, don't pick New House, unless you want a tiny room, no privacy, and constant outside tours/groups coming in and using the meeting rooms, etc. I heard that Webster is really nice, and I know that Doherty is awesome.</p>
<p>I am trying to narrow all my options down before it is entirely too late, and I want to know if someone could tell me what the major benefits/pitfalls are to morewood, donner, doherty? another thing, when I visited I stayed in the "alumni housing" area right across the street, I think that's the name of it, and I stayed there with a freshman, is there any way for me to get into a place like that my freshman year?</p>
<p>I actually seriously thinking about New House as my first choice, followed by Morewood E tower.</p>
<p>What do you mean by no privacy in New House? </p>
<p>I'm looking for a house where I can study when I want to and go down to a lounge or something when I wanna have fun, and A/C is a plus for me, so that's why I was looking at New House.</p>
