<p>Just needed some advice...</p>
<p>I am going to be applying for housing soon at UT for fall of 2012. </p>
<p>Just wondering, what the pros and cons are of single and shared spaces?
Also, the pros and cons of community, connected, and private bathes?</p>
<p>Lastly, which places are best to live depending on the type of bath..like which dorm is best with the private bath..which is best with a connecting bath,,and which is best with a private bath. For the first year, I will be getting my basics and applied to the Liberal Arts school. Also, is there a really good dorm or really bad one? Id like one that is quiet yet not so quiet you cant make friends and close to classes, restuarants, etc.</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch!!!</p>
<p>PLEASE someone give their advice or share what they know about the housing at UT. Im running out of options of who to ask.</p>
<p>I go to UT. Honestly, some of the dorms are good, some suck. It depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re a girl and looking for a very close-knit environment (think sorority-like) then check out Hardin House. If you’re a freshman, Jester is actually a pretty good dorm. Blanton is good if you’re an honors student or looking for a quiet place. There’s lots of off-campus places too; The Castilian is on the drag (a bit expensive) but a good place if you want to party (the RA’s don’t care). There’s co-ops too, which are great if you still want to live with people but have your own kitchen and have more responsibilities - there’s also crazy parties and a generally hippie atmosphere. Lastly, there’s tons of apartments around town if you want to live alone; I’d recommend anything in Hyde Park.</p>
<p>Thanks bunch! Do you know anything about Dobie or University Towers? I know they are private dorms, but thats about it.</p>
