<p>okay i have a stupid question, just in case. if i apply for housing but eventually do not come to Penn, and do not confirm my housing assignment by 18th june, i wont be charged for the room, will i? </p>
<p>because the only way i can come is if i get a scholarship and i cant get a confirmed offer before 1st may.</p>
<p>Would a double or a single room be preferable? I had always thought I wanted a double so I would meet people easier, but is this the case? Do most people prefer a single, or a double? And what are the differences socially?</p>
<p>i'm in the same boat. i'm thinking of taking a double because living in a single might become boring! i need another soul in the room to talk to. this plan may backfire pretty badly though if i end up not liking my roommate.</p>
<p>I'm applying for a single, except for those in the quad because they're too expensive. I've had my own room for 18 years now, so I can't imagine living with another person :</p>
<p>heh, ive always had my own room too, but I think I would get too bored in a single</p>
<p>I applied for a single... that way you can choose whether or not you wish to be social :)</p>
<p>argh.. i tried to submit my housing app and it kept returning error pages.</p>
<p>People are classifying Hill kids as "down to earth", what does this mean? What percentage of students in Hill party on a daily basis? Just on weekends? What percentage are more studious?</p>
<p>Here's mine just in case anyone needs ideas:
Preference 1 Medical Care & Challenge-Hill HILL-10 Single room
Preference 2 Hill College House HILL-10 Single room
Preference 3 Ware College House WARE-20 Double room
Preference 4 Riepe College House RIEP-20 Double room
Preference 5 Hill College House HILL-20 Double room
Preference 6 Fisher Hassenfeld Col Hse FSHS-20 Double Room
Preference 7 Science & Tech Wing-Kings Ct/English KCEH-20 Double room
Preference 8 Freshman Experience-Harrison HARS-41 Quad apt (3BR/LR/kit)</p>
<p>hey bean001, just in case u didnt kno, if u put anything in the quad after the third choice, most likely its gone to waste. there's usually no space left in the quad after the 3rd round...</p>
<p>heres mine:
1) Ware-double
2) fisher-double
3) riepe-double
4) hill-double
5) harnwell-double (2br)
6) hamilton-double (2br)
7) harnwell-east asia-double (2br)</p>
<p>hmm...the freshman experience res. sounds cool.</p>
<p>yeah it does... I wish i knew about it before I sent my app in. oh well. I hope I get the quad.</p>
<p>OK...so i'm putting down fresh. experience ; but i want it as my 4th choice (after quad) - how do i do that? it keeps making it my first choice ; but i dont want that. can anyone help me?</p>
<p>you can't, res programs are always first (except the ones that might have extra slots at the end)</p>
<p>iggg. what are the odds that i'll end up in the res. program then?</p>
<p>Andy, thanks for the reminder, but I knew that. I don't actually want the quad :p My first choice is Hill and the rest are merely to fill up space because I don't want to end up at Gregory, Du Bois, or the high rises.</p>
<p>i dont think you will have a problem getting into hill</p>
<p>does anyone know anything about the Modern Languages Program or the Music Program? I kind of want to put them #3 and 4 on my preferences, but it seems like it can only be 1/2 or 7/8. can anyone please try to sway me either way??</p>
<p>Bump..............</p>
<p>Harpingchic, I heard that the Modern Languages Program is very intensive, which could be a pro or a con depending on your outlook. Good luck deciding!</p>
