<p>I've been accepted and am currently filling out the housing application. I would think the super-block area is the most social and at the moment my top two preferences are the freshmen only dorms (Frontier and Territorial)</p>
<p>So.....what's the pro's/con's of:
Frontier, Territorial, Centennial, Pioneer, Sanford.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about them either, but if I go there, I’m going with territorial or middlebrook (suites). if you want to join a LLC, that makes it easier to pick a place to live since LLC’s are assigned to a dorm building.</p>
<p>you can check here for info

<p>why do you want to live in a dom in the first place.
They are soooooooooooooooooo expensive</p>
<p>Centennial is very quite. and I like the single. And the dining hall runs until midnight. I like Centennial except the price. Pioneer doesn’t have a elevator, moving will be a nightmare. Sanford is far away.
Maybe I am biased.</p>
<p>in response to tonyCC, students who live in dorms are more likely to actually graduate… </p>
<p>plus students are more able to feel like part of the university if they actually live there, have easier access to health facilities, libraries, etc if living in the dorms</p>
<p>I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to live in the dorms their freshman year (unless cost is that big of a factor). It really helps you connect with other freshman and feel a part of campus right away. Plus it’s always fun living in a building with 700 other college students!</p>
<p>Rundown on the dorms:
Territorial-Super Social, always people doing something, easy to meet people, can be loud at times</p>
<p>Frontier-Fairly social, a bit quieter and laid back than T-Hall but still good to meet people</p>
<p>Centen.-I wouldn’t suggest unless you’re not a freshman. Good if you want a single or something quieter.</p>
<p>Pioneer-See Centen.</p>
<p>Sanford-Good-Food, close to Dinkytown, rooms are nice. Bad-Not close to the Superblock</p>
<p>Comstock-See Centen.</p>
<p>Basically if you’re a freshman pick T-Hall or Frontier. You get to meet other freshman right away and build friendships. If you’re a super social person pick T-Hall first. Otherwise Frontier is a great way to go.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>jota- what do you think of middlebrook?
i territorial is my first choice because it has the carlson LLC. and then idk if i want to put middlebrook or frontier as my second choice.
overall, do you think its wiser for a freshman to live in any superblock over middlebrook?</p>
<p>I personally am not the biggest fan of Middlebrook if you’re a freshman. I have friends (who are freshman) that live there and they enjoy its quirkyness and everything, but I would much rather live in an all freshman dorm. I wouldn’t say it’s better to live in any Superblock over Middlebrook, just the Freshman dorms for sure.</p>
<p>So maybe do this:
