<p>Hey, i'm attending Cornell this fall, and i'm trying to decide where i want to live at cornell. Ok, so here are some of my following wants/interests:</p>
<p>-was accepted at CAS, want to live relatively close to it
-i like basketball, and enjoy indoor basketball more than out
-i like working out, but i prefer to have my gyms less-frequented/crowded
-in HS, i lived out of my "zone", so i missed out on developing some of the relationships w/ the "neighborhood" kids and kids at school, so i'd like to be at a location w/ a fairly medium to large sized residence
-i'd like to have a roomate
-i'd like to have a kitchen and laundry on my floor/every floor...</p>
<p>You dont get to pick where you live...they pick for you after answering a series of ridiculous question like when is your bedtime and stuff. If you get lucky, they'll put you into the Court Resort or Mews....if you are unlucky you'll live in the low rises or dickson (though the singles in there are pretty sweet). Good luck</p>
<p>I can only echo what everyone else has said...don't waste time thinking about this, because they're just going to put you somewhere randomly. The housing form really doesn't mean anything. Unfortunately, you really have no choice.</p>
<p>what about housing on west campus?? I just got accepted as a transfer, and I don't think I'd like to live in the transfer housing in the hasbrouck apartments, i'd rather get the traditional college feel, being thats one of the things my current university lacks.</p>
<p>If you're a transfer I definitely recommend living on West over hasbrouck. West is actually a busy part of the campus; you'll meet lots of people your age. Hasbrouck is very isolated and relatively far away from the main academic buildings of the campus.</p>
<p>again.. you DONT get to pick where you live...they pick for you. ahh I dont think people get that. but if u r lucky you'll get
1. Court/Kay/Bauer or Mews---- these are the newest dorms, the bathrooms are amazing and clean, they are moderately social and airconditioned. It's also the only dorm on north airconditioned. So very useful in the warm muggy summer months meaning august and september.</p>
<ol>
<li>Donlon---very social but not as necessarily as clean and livable as Court or Mews...It will though give you a very good freshman year exprience</li>
</ol>
<p>3.Dickson or Jameson---dorms are ****...not very clean or nice and moderately social. But there are a descent number of singles and they are sweet. trust me when the time comes, you will be glad u have a single.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Balch (girls only) and townhouses--- Balch is all girls, i hear its really nice. but people run down the courtyard and screams in the middle of hte night drunk...the rooms are HUGE. Townhouses rooms are huge, its clean and quiet...but not at all social. If you like to study, it may be teh best choice for you.</p></li>
<li><p>lowrises/high rises.... they are not bad, the rooms are big, but they are sorta constricted. Not really social.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>those are my personal rankings, many people may feel differently based on ur preference and likes. I tried to list advantages and disadvantages for all of them so good luck. But it really doesnt matter cause u cant pick where u live.</p>
