<p>hi,</p>
<p>i was wondering, does the housing staff at U M generally let you room with whoever you choose and wherever you want? if i apply at the first opportunity of course.</p>
<p>and,
do i have to live on campus as a freshman? </p>
<p>and is there wireless internet/cable internet/TV free in U M residence halls? i heard there wasn't..</p>
<p>thanks</p>

<li><p>I highly recommend living on campus your freshman year. Its just a good experience. Move out 2nd year though because its cheaper to live off campus.</p></li>
<li><p>Free wireless and cable internet. You can pay for free cable for i think 50$ or so.</p></li>
<li><p>When you’re applying for housing, you can pick the location you want and your application is put into a lottery (so when you apply doesn’t matter, as long as its before the deadline). However, if you put down a roommate, its highly likely that you’ll end up on North Campus.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I think they’re putting more Freshmen in Mojo because they’re supposed to be redoing Markley, so yeah don’t request a roommate because you’ll get put on North which is the worst place to live. Although I do know a couple people here in Markley that requested their roommate and somehow are on central too.</p>
<p>North is not the worst… I will stand by that</p>
<p>Also, some dorm rooms do not have wireless internet… so watch out for that</p>
<p>They are not redoing Markley. Alice Lloyd is closed for renovation in 11-12. I heard it is East Quad for 12-13.</p>
