I’m going to be a freshman this year, and I wanted an All freshman dorm, but I was assigned West Quad instead. Anyone interested in trading rooms with me?
I know you want an all freshmen dorm but believe me West Quad is worth staying, BRAND NEW, recently renovated, you would be the first to go into your room. Premium location and connected to the Michigan Union. And you get to dine at South Quad’s dining area, which I hear is the best. I don’t know my housing yet, but if I get assigned Markley, I’ll definitely swap with you if you’re still adamant on residing in Markley.
Ive stayed in West Quad for some summer camps in the past and it was awesome. I bet its going to be even better with all the renovations, but part of me still wants that all freshman experience. It will be a hard decision deciding between which way to go. You can check your assignment right now if you want though. Just go to UoM housing.
Nope, I haven’t gotten my assignment trust me haha, been checking everyday for the past 2 months… 
, got that email from UM Housing saying I’m one of the unlucky ones who hasn’t gotten their assignment yet and that it will come out soon.
@carlsandburgsr My son has the same situation. The wording of the email my son received was somewhat amusing in how it described the situation. I truly believe the housing department has no clue how their incompetence impacts students.
Good luck and I hope you get good news soon. BTW, my son would take West Quad in a heartbeat.
I actually lived in West Quad back when I was a freshman. Although it is one of the more preferable dorms to receiv3, I actually wish I had lived in an all freshman dorm as well. Not only was my hall (and the adjoining hall) all male, but half of the hall were sophomores. That said, the location and being connected to the union are awesome, so if it doesn’t work out, don’t fret. Good luck.
ChaseUp…Are you male or female? Is the room a double?
Never mind…my son has Markley but he wants to keep it.
Tried the room swap Bulletin Board?
“University Housing provides a room swap bulletin board on this website. We do not facilitate room swaps in any other way. Swaps are only allowed between U-M enrolled students with signed Housing contracts.”
I’m in Bursely which is right next to Markley and I am willing to switch to west quad.
Bursley is not right next to Markley. Bursley is on North Campus and Markley is on the Eastern edge of the Hill dorms.
