<p>I can't seem to find too much information on the transfer residence halls. I know that theres san rafael and manzanita but I never knew anything about the suites in san rafael. I was doing my housing application and I dont know where to find information on either dorm. Is San Rafael a hall with all suites, just a difference in 8-6-4 people? Are the prices the same for all residence halls with the only difference being single-double-triple for roomates?</p>
<p>All prices are same, unless it’s a: double, triple, or single (single being the most expensive and triple being the least). Before I sent in my contract, I saw that it’s 6 & 8 people per ONE bathroom (that’s going to get gross real quick). </p>
<p>I think I read somewhere that the living rooms in the suites are about small to average–the bedrooms are a bit small as well. Manzanita has the biggest rooms. I think you should base everything on what you’re hoping to gain. Are you an extrovert that wants to be around people 24/7? Then you should probably go for the 6 or 8 suite in San Rafael. Manzanita is also the most antisocial residence hall, so I think it’ll be the best option if you’re introverted so that you don’t go crazy. Or the doubles in San Rafael.</p>
<p>BTW, an extrovert is someone who gets energy from being around people and an introvert is someone who gets exhausted from being around people for more than an hour or two. I would base it all on how you’ll feel and what would make you the happiest :)</p>
<p>Toodles.</p>
<p>is manzanita really that anti social? like how hard would it be to make friends there? I am also a transfer student and obviously want to make many friends</p>
<p>^^I think it depends on the person. If you’re going to sit in your room all day, then yea… But I highly doubt you’re going to just lounge around in your dorm room. I think everyone should be fine if they socialize outside of their dorms.</p>
<p>Can someone give me there opinion as to what it is like living at a Residence hall? I have seen those prices, and I don’t know if it is monthly or not, (thats one of my questions), and I heard the food is terrible.</p>
<p>I have my heart set on appartments (FAR away from IV, I am serrious about my edu.) or community houseing, but I have never really given the halls a chance.</p>
<p>If someone could give me a comparison on these three housing options (minus how the halls are conveintly placed on campus), that would set my mind at ease.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Hey!</p>
<p>So the residence halls can be paid quarterly or monthly or yearly.</p>
<p>I strongly recommend going for manzanita. Really quite, close to the food in IV and campus. Dining Commons are incredibly good, especially the one in manzanita. </p>

<p>@munaluna Thank you so much! I’m so glad you told me about the bathroom situation. I’ve had my own bathroom my whole life and cannot even imagine sharing one with 7 other people.</p>
