<p>Any UCONN students want to tell me what's up with housing? Which parts are the best for freshman and later on in the college experience, etc.</p>
<p>Also: is it better to live in the traditional dorms or live in a dorm with a special focus (like some colleges have science dorms for premed kids, engineers, etc)??</p>
<p>I would like to know the same thing. Seeing as no one answered you the first time, can you shed any light on this from personal experience (assuming you were a freshman this year). Thanks.</p>
<p>I’d like to know this too. Any current uconn freshmen on here?</p>
<p>Also in the orientation packet I thought I saw something about May 16th deadline for house is this really true for incoming freshmen?</p>
<p>Yes, it is true.</p>
<p>So once I fill out the housing application is that it? Do I need to pay anything before May 16?</p>
<p>There is a new student guide you can download and read
<a href=“http://www.reslife.uconn.edu/docs/2011-2012_New_Undergrad_Guide_03-14-2011web.pdf[/url]”>http://www.reslife.uconn.edu/docs/2011-2012_New_Undergrad_Guide_03-14-2011web.pdf</a>
They will not be sending it to admitted students. You need to get that in before May 16. Went to admitted student day on 4/16 and they said any apps sent in after that date goes on a wait list and not guaranteed housing.
Tuition fee bill is due Aug. 1.
Hope this helps.</p>
<p>The best parts for freshman are northweastern, north (somewhat good), and Buckley (honors)</p>
<p>At least thats what I heard.</p>
<p>Freshmen are normally assigned to North, Northwest and Towers.</p>
