<p>Has anyone had any experience with the Taos co op? It looks like I'm going to be living there (IF my contract processes in time...)</p>
<p>Is it fun? Clean? What are the rooms like? </p>
<p>I just got my contract for a single room for Taos. Did you apply for a single or double room?</p>
<p>I don’t know about Taos but I applied for Halstead and went on a tour last weekend. The place looks very nice. However, I’m still at number #2 on their waiting list for a double room, not really sure will I ever get the room.</p>
<p>My son liked Taos, although he wasn’t there very long (he had to withdraw from school for medical reasons).</p>
<p>@EIJohn I had applied for a single- however my roommate came through and I just signed a contract for a student apartment in North Campus.</p>
<p>@Foafoa Oh no!! Do students eventually get off the waitlist or you do you have to look for other options? </p>
<p>Question - Is there anyway that a spring transfer could get in at a co-op? If so, when should I apply and if not, when can I apply for the next Fall? I’m really interested in Arrakis though ICC. </p>
<p>@lovechickfila I also applied to ICC and received a contract but I didn’t sign it because they required like $800 upfront at the time of signing. I want to live in Halstead and have saved money to pay for the whole year at once so I really can’t spend that much for a security option. Honestly this is the first time I look for housing, thus I really have no clue.</p>
<p>foafoa - the $800 wasn’t all security. Some is refundable and some the partial payment of the last month’s rent. Didn’t they send you a break down of what the money was for?</p>
<p>Yeah they did and I do understand it. However, ICC is still my second option and $800 is a lot of money to me. And say if I pay the $800 to make sure that I will have room for the year, then when I got offered a contract from Halstead, I may not gather enough money to pay for the whole school year (in order to get their 5% off).</p>
<p>@putabirdonit Just check their website. They’re open for new application at anytime as long as there are room available. </p>
<p>Their website says they’re full for the upcoming Fall, so I’m sort of wondering when I should look to apply or if they keep applications on file for the future maybe? </p>
