<p>i was admitted like in december and i still haven't applied for housing b/c i wasn't sure if i was going to iu. if i applied to housing today, would i be put into the crappiest room?</p>
<p>I got housing in February but had to switch in July due to an error on their part. I ended up in a triple in Eigenmann. If I switched in July you will be fine in March.</p>
<p>I would apply as soon as you can. You might get stuck with a crappy room but if you wait any longer, that possibility is only going to increase exponentially.</p>
<p>It’s really not that big of a deal. I didn’t apply to housing until mid-April and it worked out. I’d highly recommend applying to a learning community or something, as in increases your chances of getting placed where you want to be. But also, during orientation, you can request a change in your housing assignment if you don’t like the neighborhood you’re placed in. That’s what I did.</p>
<p>thanks guys!</p>
<p>I’d like to apply for housing as well, but since I’ve never visited there I don’t know which dorms are good and which ones aren’t. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>List of priorities from highest to lowest:
- Large room
- 4-5 room share a common area (kitchen/tv room)…dunno what style room that’s called
- Not too far from classes
- Not a intense party dorm (love to party, but wouldn’t want there to be one like every other day of the week)</p>
<p>***Please help this is kinda of urgent</p>
<p>voodoo—</p>
<p>Rooms are all about the same size.<br>
The apartment style dorms you are describing are very limited in availability and not open to freshman. In Read two rooms share a bathroom, but you cannot request a specific dorm builiding.<br>
My understanding, from CC, is that the NW neighborhood is the party place. Central or Southeast might be better for you. </p>
<p>I encourage you to visit the IU housing website for info on walking times, floor plans, etc.</p>
<p>thx for clarifying rrah, but I was just wondering, why are people so tempted to applying for housing asap when all the rooms are the same size and you can’t choose your dorm buildings. and also, i want a some partying, just not a crapload…is NW still not the place for me? what’s the difference between Central and SE?</p>
<p>YOu can choose your neighborhood, just not your building, and applying for housing early increases the chances of getting a popular neighborhood. Based on your requirements I would select Central.</p>
<p>Central it seems to me is the most popular, and SE is the least.</p>
<p>If you want to be close to your classes, Central is by the Business and Law. I believe SE is by music. NW is… by sportS? I’m not to sure on the last one.</p>
<p>which dorm is near the journalism building? i want kind of a quieter building.</p>
<p>Central and Southeast would be closest to the J School.</p>
<p>Northwest is definitely the loudest.</p>
<p>ughh…i really hate that i signed up so late. so guys, if i applied for southeast, which dorms are the best?</p>
<p>As a freshman you can’t choose a dorm only the area, single/double, and living center if you want one. I went to the campus yesterday and they said that the date you sign up for housing stays with you all four years for when you get to choose housing and for parking. Sorry. But, on the bright and random side, if you happen to be a national merit scholar you get first choose housing even if, like me, you signed up yesterday.</p>
<p>great. i’ll probably be stuck in some really bad dorm. are most dorms air conditioned?</p>
<p>still havent applied yet.</p>
<p>I applied yesterday for Kelley LLC and Central neighborhood. While I would like living in the Kelley LLC with other business students, I am afraid of how loud it would get over there in the northwest neighborhood. I like central neighborhood because it’s still close to Kelley, but is not as loud.</p>
<p>All but three dorms are airconditioned (Wright in Central is one of the ones that are not), however I was told if you have a medical condition and a doctor’s note you can buy an airconditioning unit for 50-100 dollars.</p>
