How are the dorm common rooms? I was talking to my sister and she says that they are important but I don’t remember seeing anything about the common rooms. How do you make friends here when you can rarely run into people?
Their website has photos and 360 degree panoramic views of the living and common areas. Have you looked? What makes you think you won’t run into other students?
The common rooms are **common rooms **on each floor; they are just there when you need them.
What makes you think that the common rooms are the only place you will meet people? Is that the only place you plan on spending your whole time there? You never plan on leaving the floor?
You meet people everywhere at UB.
You will change rooms every year. It’s based on the lottery.
My daughter went to UB, she had no problems meeting people all over the campus. They do have two campuses.
I don’t think they are the “only place I will meet people.” The school has more than 30k people, if you haven’t noticed, that’s a huge amount of people. My sister told me that she made the majority of her friends because of common rooms. And obviously I don’t plan on staying in my dorm, I am a pretty active person.
You won’t be interacting with 30,000 people. Your classes will be a smaller pool. You can meet classmates to study or go out to lunch. If you join any ECs, that’s also a smaller community. It’s like living in NYC. There are over 8 million people, but the ones you’d meet if you moved there would be the ones who are involved in the same sort of activities that you are. You make friends by getting involved in your community.
I applied back in September for early action and still haven’t heard anything, the admissions office keeps saying my app is under review but the wait is getting kinda ridiculous…anyone else have this problem?
You should contact them because that’s pretty concerning. I applied EA and heard back in Nov. @kae011
@CalinAmry so I just went back and looked. I submitted every part of my app on 11/14 except the recc letter, which I did on the 17th. Was my app not considered complete until the 17th cause of that? (If I missed it by two days I’m gonna go crazy)
I don’t work for admissions. But CALL THEM. like actually, call them ASAP.
