<p>OK, I hear all the bad things about North Campus. I got assigned to Baits I double. I'm a 1st year engineering student, so like 80% of my classes are not on North Campus. Here's a list of pros and cons of N. Campus, feel free to add onto it:</p>
<p>Pro's:
Peacefulness.
Better food (at least that's what I've heard).
Larger, nicer rooms.
No need to walk, guaranteed bus rides. (Is it true that if you live on Central Campus, you always have to walk?)</p>
<p>Con's:
Remoteness, feels isolated from classmates.

Wait time for buses might be long?</p>
<p>So I'm not a huge partier. I plan to stick around on Central Campus until my engineering class begins, will I be affected too much by the North Campus effect? Also I recently got an email saying that they have singles open in Oxford, should I transfer? I wonder how much more it would cost.</p>
<p>Don't bother with Oxford. The two main problems I see with North Campus is that there was less of a social scene, and the issue with distance (needing to get up earlier for your first class/not being able to go back between classes). With a rapid increase in number of freshmen on North Campus, I see the first one being less of an issue. The second one will always be an issue, but it wouldn't be solved by going to Oxford.</p>
<p>IMO, Bursley having better food is a myth. Maybe I just didn't eat there enough (never had a reason to), but when I did it was nothing special. The only one I've ate at that differs in quality in Betsey Barbour, which has a lot less selection and lower quality due to the fact that they serve at most 250ish people.</p>
<p>according to my schedule, the earliest class I have is at around 10 AM. When you say "not being able to go back between classes," do you mean not being able to go back to your room? I'll probably do my HW/study at a library in the morning anyway.</p>
<p>you're just going to have to plan a little bit -- when you leave for class in the morning, you'll have to carry with you everything that you'll need for the day -- and plan on studying inbetween classes in the library, coffee shop, other dorm computer lab, fishbowl, whatever.</p>
<p>Yeah, pretty much you can't go back to your room. Not just a problem for taking breaks inbetween classes, but also if you forget something you're SOL.</p>
<p>the image that "u must be boring if u live on NC" isn't true. I've never thought any of my NC friends were boring, and I don't think anyone else has carried that stereotype.</p>
<p>I'm confused what you mean by "(Is it true that if you live on Central Campus, you always have to walk?)". Are you asking if Central Campus people can use the buses?</p>
<p>mr100%, i'd say both.. haha.
for example, if u live in south or west quad, you're in the middle of everything and walking distance to downtown ann arbor, frat houses, off-campus apts, etc. if u live on north, you'll have to take the bus.</p>
