‘Illnesses that go around all at once in the dorms’ isn’t a phenomenon that’s really big. You’ll have a single room with a bathroom (do make a request) and you’ll have to be with others from about 9 in the morning until about midnight… (il not sûre what he’s referring to… In fact I’ve never heard if it… Except for some outbreaks which are linked to specific conditions that wouldn’t apply since you’d have your own room/bath…)
I don’t think your physician realizes how uncomfortable and difficult it’ll be day to day to not live in the dorms at a residential college, because most international systems are not residential. Frosh year really is the year you need to/want to live in the dorms, to facilitate integration.
I wouldn’t pick UCLA as the level of accommodations can’t be the same (public university = les money.)
It’s very easy to take classes at the other 5C’s.
