<p>Congrats class of 2016.... now to the question of housing. </p>
<p>Which dorms are you guys considering/recommending? Which are you NOT considering? and why?</p>
<p>And of course there's the question of those residential programs...</p>
<p>My daughter is a freshman living in Fisher in the quad and loves it</p>
<p>I’m considering either Harrison for the FreshEx program, Kings Court for the STWing or somewhere in the quad.</p>
<p>I put the quad dorms as my first choices 
and then like hill and stouffer and jigs court but I’m not sure what order.</p>
<p>Either Riepe for ISP/BFS (if I can get in :S), Harrison for FreshEx, or Ware.</p>
<p>For freshman housing, put Quad first, then high-rises, then Stouffer. And then hope you get one of them.</p>
<p>The rest are so awful, they’ll make you cry (no kidding). :)</p>
<p>guys guys guys, Fisher or Riepe?</p>
<p>How is W E B Dubois college house?</p>
<p>@Jlaine10125: I didn’t live in Dubois my freshmen year but I have heard from people that the dorms are fairly nice and spacious and there is a very strong African American community present.</p>
<p>Yea, I’m a rising senior planning on applying Early Decision and I think its good that there’s a dorm dedicated to our history. I wasnt sure how nice the rooms were. One thing I don’t want it is to feel self segregated though because I love my people but I want to meet people of other ethnicity too. Do you think it would be difficult for me to stay in Dubois the whole 4 years?</p>
<p>@Jlaine10125: If you get into DuBois freshmen year, then you really shouldn’t have any problem staying for the entire 4 years because in housing selection, the current residents of a college house have priority and are almost guaranteed a room. The rooms are fairly nice-I would say not as nice as those in the high rises (only in the sense that the high rises are newer) but definitely a significant step up from say the quad or hill. Don’t worry-you will definitely get to meet people of other backgrounds/ethnicities. Dubois is near the high rise area so you’ll be able to meet tons of people there and then there’s always academics classes and extracurriculars:)</p>
<p>Thanks! I was worried about all of the negative talks regarding the dorms, regardless I was going to apply early decision. The pros most definitely outweigh the cons!</p>
