<p>Karp, that is a great idea!</p>
<p>Also the following year you could try to get a single (eastview terrace is available for junior and seniors) although the odds of getting one are low or a single apt although they are expensive (much cheaper sharing an apt).
Or be an RA and get a single...</p>
<p>frasi-
I am glad you liked my suggestion. However, I would not use the words "I will only be staying at psu if I get housing in those halls?" It sounds too negative. I would say something along the lines of "I feel living in honors housing would provide me with a more meaningful college experience." or something along those lines that reflect positively on the PSU experience. I would suggest contacting Counseling and Psychological Services in the Ridenour building and make an appointment with a counselor. Explain your situation and ask if he/she can help you get into the honors housing. If he/she is unable to directly help, ask who else you might be able to talk to. Be proactive and positive. I would suggest making contact before you leave for the summer. However, for now, focus in on doing well on your finals. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Also, to answer your question, I have a son who finishing his freshman year in engineering at UP. He applied to Schreyer but did not get in. However, he is very happy at PSU and is doing well.</p>
<p>lol one of my friends didnt apply to schreyers cuz he saw it as a waste of time ;). (For the record he did get into Harvard but rejected it due to AID.) Hes one of those laid back smart guys like me though :P. </p>
<p>Frasi did you ever actually sit down and talk to your roomate about these problems you're having? I also think you should of considered going to the commons to study if your potential is truly as high as you say ;) (just a good suggestion). One good thing about Penn State is there is a chance to remedy yourself. </p>
<p>Make sure you keep your GPA above a 3.0 tho Frasi becuz as a reminder, you will not be guaranteed admission into CS if it isnt (tho you still have a chance)</p>
<p>Supporting what CH121S has suggested. You really need to find a conducive place to study. It is really hard to get good studying done in the dorm rooms. There are the libraries and commons and I am sure there are other places. Back when I was in college, there were certain open classrooms where one could go and study which were great when one needed peace and quiet. Also, if you are a light sleeper, you might consider getting earplugs and/or running a fan in your room for 'white noise' which helps block out other dorm noises.</p>
