<p>There were actually some extra spaces left in BJ this year, so you can probably get it. Even if you don’t, I’ll bet you’ll be happy wherever you end up.</p>
<p>I committed a couple days ago, and I’m psyched! BJ, South, and Breckinridge are my top three, in that order. Anyone else from VA?</p>
<p>Committed yesterday; BJ, Breck, Maclean. I’ve basically known since Monday, though.</p>
<p>@HonorsCentaur: are you Chinese? 
I want to take the bilingual speakers class too, but I suspect my Chinese might not even be good enough for that, ha.</p>
<p>@machiavellismile: I used to live in Richmond, actually! I miss it sooo much sometimes. Where are you from?</p>
<p>Yes, I am indeed Chinese.
I am fluent but illiterate, so hopefully that’s where the bilingual classes come in!
I want to finish French, but possibly Italian, Russian, or Spanish as well.</p>
<p>Economics!</p>
<p>Max P., Pierce, Snell-Hitchcock</p>
<p>Am I the only one freaking out that none of my choices are going to be available? I really want a dorm close to the quadrangle/gyms but I fear it’s too late…</p>
<p>Coincidentally I used to live in York Town, VA, not far from Richmond, and am fluent in Russian! haha</p>
<p>^Are you Russian? That’s really an advantage coz it’s sooo hard to pick up Russian as a foreign language! </p>
<p>maybe chinese bilingual for me too hehe</p>
<p>anybody know if there’s an “official” facebook page for 2014?? I think it’d be nice to get to know some of my future classmates before September O_O hahaha I’m already excited.</p>
<p>^Have you tried Phoenix Facebook for admitted students? Have you uploaded your picture?</p>
<p>committed last week! I put south, max p, and pierce for housing. I’m thinking of switching max p and south though… any input? from what i’ve heard the atmosphere in both dorms are very similar</p>
<p>Max P and South are the newest and I heard most social.</p>
<p>I have Max, BJ, South Campus in that order. Bit of an odd mix as far as I can tell, but I like newness, private bathrooms, proximity to gym, quietness…</p>
<p>i put max p, south, and BJ</p>
<p>Class of 2014 for sure! Committed last Saturday after coming back from the 22-23 overnight visit. My dorm choices are South, Max P, and Pierce. Jeez, I thought if I put those down I’d be in for sure since there are so many rooms available…hopefully all the people that don’t post on CC picked the other ones. lol</p>
<p>Welcome! Feel free to PM with any questions (though I generally only check CC when I’m procrastinating on papers… 
)</p>
<p>Guys, everyone should make their accounts on phoenix facebook on the Chicago website (log into your account and then click connect). Also, check out the facebook group [University</a> of Chicago Class of 2014 | Facebook](<a href=“Facebook Public Group | Facebook”>Facebook Public Group | Facebook). The more people that join the better!</p>
<p>Just turned in my deposit!! 
</p>
<p>For housing I put: Breck, BJ and Maclean.</p>
<p>I was going to put those same houses, zakuropanda! But then my friend (UChicago first year) told me to do different ones.</p>
<p>Any particular reasons?</p>
<p>Committed in early April but didn’t reject other schools 'til today.
It feels so real now. I love the insider’s guide; really reaffirmed Chicago’s quirkiness.
Top 3 Halls: Blackstone, Broadview, and Max P (because of the private bathrooms).
See you all next year!</p>
<p>@zakuropanda,</p>
<p>I really wanted a single, nice facilities, and possibly a private (or shared) bathroom. However, I committed a bit late in the game, so I was afraid that I might not get any of my choices. I have a friend who is a freshman in Max (she’s living off campus next year, though), and she suggested that I do BJ, South, and Max as my three choices. I kept BJ as first since it meets most of my criteria, but I also thought that South had really nice facilities, even though the chance of a single is slightly lessened and bathrooms are communal. And Max was nice as well. I didn’t stay there overnight, but I spent most of my evening college visit there, hanging out with my friend. I liked that the bathrooms were private (but shared), and I wouldn’t mind the suite-style living. I think it’d help me make friends more quickly. Plus, Max and South are bigger houses, so they gave me better odds of getting in than I would have had with Breck and Maclean. Looking back, I think I was also deciding between Broadview and Blackstone.</p>
