I got accepted as a transfer back in the beginning of January for the fall of 2017. I currently attend community college in Illinois. I decided to live in a dorm the first year at uiuc and I am planning on rooming with my friend who also got accepted to u of i and attends community college with me as well. What halls does everyone recommend? We wants to live in either Bousfield or Wassaja, but we understand that those dorms are very popular and we might not be able to get it. So we are looking at living in the graduate halls either sherman or Daniels, where transfers are allowed to dorm in. We do not like the transfer cluster in scott hall at all. Is there any other dorms anyone recommends? How likely is it to get Bousfield or Wassaja?
Are you sure you want to room with this friend instead of taking “potluck”? The advantage is, if you want to take a break from your roommate, you can visit your friend and maintain that friendship. If you are roommates, the little quirky things might get on your nerves, then who would you visit to get a “break”? Maybe you know others on campus you can hang out with.
Just my $.02.
