So excited about attending U of C next year!!

<p>So anyways...has anyone determined which residence halls they want to stay in?</p>

<p>I'm really looking forward to getting a spot at the shoreland (most amazing place to stay at a University).</p>

<p>Housing applications are first come, first served if I remember correctly, so fill it out and send it in if you know what you want.</p>

<p>I already applied for my housing, and I had some pretty unpopular choices. My picks were:</p>

<ol>
<li>Broadview
2./3. Breckenridge and McClean, I forget which order</li>
</ol>

<p>As you can see, I'm quite eager to get a single.</p>

<p>Snell Hitchcock
Burton Judson
Who knows? These two are the most popular, correct?</p>

<p>Honestly, wherever you stay, you will still have the time of your life here :-)</p>

<p>hey, congrats! I'm an EA-er, lol. Looking forward to meeting you RA-ers.</p>

<p>I'm really looking for a single too, not far from the university.</p>

<p>Snell and BJ are the closest for singles, but they also fill up pretty quickly. If you're willing to sacrifice a bit of distance, go for Maclean. Broadview and Breck are much further, but the people there love them.</p>

<p>What amy fails to mention is that BJ is well, THE MOST AMAZING THING EVEEEEER!!! More specifically, Vincent House in BJ is awesome</p>

<p>(I'm sure that I have not made my housing situation obvious to anyone.... lol)</p>

<p>Oooooooh, tell me more about this BJ, and give me info about the single rooms. Sorry if I sounded like I was making a sexual innuendo :P</p>

<p>Chicago is the only school I could think off that could get away with a dorm like BJ without being constantly rained down on with double entendre :)</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't think it matters when I send housing, because I only really want Max P or Shoreland, which are the two largest anyway.</p>

<p>Shoreland is amazing. Huge bedrooms, walk-in closets, private bathrooms, living room, kitchen with stove/oven/full size refrigerator, and best of all, you can lay in bed and watch the sailboats on Lake Michigan.</p>

<p>Or you can end up with a forced triple. With Shoreland for incoming first years, there's really no telling.</p>

<p>I'm really liking Broadview, but I'm not sure I want to live so far from campus. Thoughts?</p>

<p>Same here.</p>

<p>My first three choices are B-J, Pierce, or Snell-Hitchcock.</p>

<p>I'm not a fan of commuting a mile to campus everyday...seems too much like high school. Definitely not a fan of that. Plus you lose the sense of collegiate community if you're off campus all the time.</p>

<p>I really want a single room with private bathroom. Applying to which house would give me maximum chances of obtaining this?</p>

<p>Broadview is singles and private bathrooms. Shoreland has some, and Max has some with bathrooms between two people, but you won't get those as first years.</p>

<p>dahlia: single room w/ priv br would have to be broadview. i dont remember if maclean or breckinridge has private bathrooms, but those two are also single rooms. and those 3 are not as popular as shoreland or max, i think...</p>

<p>and mach, although broadview is off campus u can always take the bus to campus which takes only a few min. but for me personally im too lazy about having to catch the bus every morning for class.</p>

<p>Doesn't BJ have single rooms with private bathrooms? (here we go again :P)</p>

<p>How difficult is it to live in Shoreland?</p>
