Review of Cornell First-Year Spring Admission?

I’ve been admitted into this starting January 2018. Does anyone with previous experience in this from past years give me any inside info about the program? Pros/cons, how it felt, anything you experienced that was different from a regular admission student’s, would you recommend it, etc!

Thank you! ^u^

Any first-hand information would be very helpful! I am also wondering about housing and picking classes, and if spring admits are still able to get their choices on these. I was interested in joining a Program House, but unsure if that would be an option for me now.
