<p>I’m honestly not sure what buildings I requested, but I do know that I was a.) an early applier, b.) applied to South campus, and c.) requested a four-person dorm.</p>
<p>Part of the reason I applied to South campus was to participate in all of the parties. Since I had no idea Park/Stradley and Smith/Steebs were the main “party dorms,” I don’t remember putting them down as preferred. Talking to a housing person today, it sounds like since I was an early applier I will probably get what I first put down. (A quad.)</p>
<p>If I get in by chance to one of the two, cool. If not, will I still be good for joining in on the parties? Is all of South campus a party area, or just specific dorms? And if my dorm isn’t one of them, are you able to run across the street and go into the dorms that are?</p>
<p>I’m more than likely worrying about it too much, I’ll enjoy wherever I’m put, but when anxiety hits I figure it’s worth asking.</p>
<p>From the title of your thread, I seriously thought you had rooming anxiety. It seems you have more of the “am I going to miss out on a good party” anxiety.</p>
<p>I understand wanting to socialize and believe you can wherever you live on campus. I haven’t read any of your other posts, but I really hope this isn’t a huge concern for you. </p>
<p>Are you paying thousands of dollars to party or get an education?</p>
<p>I’m paying thousands of dollars to do both. I have extremely high aspirations with where I would like to work in my field and plan on working hard towards that goal (I have a textbook right next to me I’ve been reading for fun, the same I’ve done for more than a few years), but also plan on getting the fullest college experience I can. I can promise you I’m not a kid just going to school to party on mommy’s money. (If you had a dime for every time somebody said something along those lines.)</p>
<p>I would also argue that the title still falls under real rooming anxiety, at least when it pertains to which room I actually receive. If I am paying all of those thousands of dollars to go somewhere, I’d like to know that I’ll squeeze all of the worth out of those dollars for what I’m wanting.</p>
<p>What a relief. I’m glad to hear that they’re still not giving significant scholarships to those who plan to be spinners on South Campus. </p>
<p>And FYI, you might want to readjust your attitude and understanding of what college is. Paying a bunch of money (whether or not it’s yours or your parents’) does not entitle you to a good time. Colleges aren’t outposts of Club Med. You’re paying for the <em>opportunity</em> to learn–nothing more, and nothing less. You’re not paying for grades, parties, or a specific kind of entertainment.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I didn’t know that joining this forum required my views to fit the conservative mold most of its members deem a suitable standard for flaming others.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to answer my original question, so be it. I promise your opinion of myself and what I like to do with my time and money will change nothing, so don’t waste your breath (or, finger strain?). I’m assuming you’re a parent, malia56?</p>
<p>I take what I want to do after college (what I have been doing for half my life already) seriously. If I want to grab a beer afterwards, I don’t believe it’s anybody’s business but my own.</p>
<p>If anybody cares to answer my question without baseless judgment, it will be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Park Stradley and Smith Steeb don’t have quads. In fact, almost all of the quads are in the north or west campus. If you selected room type as your #1 priority in the housing app you may end up in one of those two areas. If you selected dorm location as your #1 priority you will probably end up in the south campus, in a double maybe a quad since you applied early. As for your question… I’m not sure. I also want to know the answer because I may end up in the south this fall.</p>
