<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering if any transfers who are at Cornell now could tell me anything about housing. I'll be a sophomore next year and am not sure where I want to live.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Same here…do you know anything about the dorms over there? I want to fill out the housing app but I don’t know enough people currently at Cornell to get any decent advice on where to try to live.</p>
<p>What kind of advice do you need? Transfers can live in the Program Houses, on West Campus , or in the Collegetown halls. They can all be really different so it depends on what you are looking for.</p>
<p>well, what are the differences? I mean, which is closest to a gym or dining hall? Do some have communal bathrooms while others are set up like suites?</p>
<p>Well that is all information that is available on the website but here is a general idea.</p>
<p>Program Houses are both suites and corridor depending on the building- most important is that you are interested in the theme though, not the facilities. Two dining halls on North Campus and two work out facilities in the area</p>
<p>West Campus, a combination of Suites (though most are probably taken by returning students by now) and rooms on a corridor. Dining halls in each building- not all are open for every meal and they have expensive unlimited meal plans required. Noyes on West has a gym in it.</p>
<p>Collegetown Halls are corridor rooms. No dining halls in the general area, but you can eat while you are on central before heading back. You can also get a more limited meal plan there. No Gyms but again you can work out while on central campus.</p>
<p>All corridor style rooms use communal bathrooms. All suites have a bathroom in the suite.</p>
<p>thanks for that information, chriori. are the collegetown dorms a drive away from campus or a more of a walk?</p>
<p>If you are realllllllly lazy, you can drive from collegetown…good luck trying to find parking on campus! Collegetown is literally a 5 minute walk from campus. Sheldon (one of the ctown dorms) is a 5 minute walk and Cascadilla is about a 10 minute walk.</p>
<p>There are suites reserved for transfers in the West Campus houses.</p>
<p>Bumping this thread for a couple more questions:
Do most transfers find roommates online or go random?
Also, is there any disadvantage to just putting one preference down? My top choice is West Campus housing, but if I don’t get that…then I don’t really care where I live</p>
