<p>As a transfer to a new university, a am currently working on my housing request. Apparently my school has classified me as a "Junior", since I had spent two years at my prior college. However, due to the requirements (basic fluency in a foreign language, a mathematics course, science, basic CORE classes + my major courses, the time will be 3 years instead of 2. Basically, I consider myself a sophomore.</p>
<p>Introduction complete - here's my question...What is normally the best housing option for a transfer like myself? I can opt for the houses with juniors and sophomores with the main pros being that the individuals will be more mature, closer to my age, academically motivated (more so than freshman), and will be in the class of 2013-2014. The cons? Perhaps everyone will have already become buddy-buddy with each other and less open to new relationships.</p>
<p>Now for the freshman housing - please note, I am not speaking of freshman exclusive housing, just areas where they reside in the greatest percentage. The pros are that everyone, including myself, will be new. The cons are obvious, but my greatest fear is that the only way to have a good social life will be to reside with all first years.</p>
<p>I certainly value all poisons on this matter. I am a calm, academically oriented 20 year old female who needs your advice.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
