<p>I’m looking for opinions comparing on campus freshman housing with Stenner Glen off campus…ie. atmosphere…price…location…etc.</p>
<p>dont you have to live on campus as a freshmen? if not than my bad, but im pretty sure cal poly requires it</p>
<p>I was told that housing isn’t guaranteed at cal poly, so how can they force you to live on campus?</p>
<p>My sister never lived on campus. She wished that she had freshman year, though. It’s a good way to meet friends!</p>
<p>well stenner glenn is pretty close so its cool, but there were alot of stoners there if you ask me. a long time ago i wanted to go to sonoma state but not anymore, the reason being is so many ****ing potheads. </p>
<p>Anyhow if you dont like pot, i would say stay away from “stonner glenn” bahaha. on campus is pretty cool tho, especially if you get into the shasta dorms, and such</p>
<p>I’ve heard that there are a lot of Cuesta students there. True?</p>
<p>Oh Stoner Den! I’d recommend living on campus, especially your first year, even if it is a little expensive. The experience is definitely worth it.</p>
<p>Agreed. But, what’s a good off campus alternative to Poly Canyon etc. for the following years that isn’t total anarchy?</p>
<p>poly canyon is awesome. brand spankin new, not too expensive, and its on campus but away from it all. lots of social stuff going on… unless you hate living on campus, live in canyon</p>
<p>The problem is Poly has the same restrictions as the dorms, correct?</p>
<p>Yeah, Poly Canyon is on campus, so it has the same restrictions as the dorms. Personally I think cerro vista is nicer than Poly canyon even though it is a few years older. Poly canyon kinda feels like a hotel or I’ve even heard people describe it as being like a hospital. Cerro is nicer and you have basically the same set up (kitchen, living room, two baths, and everyone gets their own bedroom). Also, cerro is a bit closer to everything. People make it seem as though both cerro and poly canyon are far away from everything, but in reality they’re not. yosemite and sierra madre are just as far and are practically off campus. The thing I like most about cerro are the outdoor entrances. Also, if you decide to apply for either of these hosing choices, don’t listen to what people say about them being “anti-social”. Cerro is especially more social now since I’d say 90% of the residents are freshman. It’s really not that hard to meet people. I think it’s harder not to meet people because that requires you not ever leaving your room.</p>
