<p>I have just recently handed in my final transcript and I'm still unsure about the status of my application. I'm a transfer applicant and I just finished up with my freshman year. The admissions committee will get back to me in about a couple of weeks from now. By that time, should the decision be in my favor, will I have enough time to get housing and all the classes that I need before the beggining of classes during the Fall? Also, are there any specific dormitories, residence halls, or apartments that tend to be more quiet than the others and will properly suit a business major? I'd be grateful for your inputs.</p>
<p>There are lots of classes still open, if you are a business major you will be able to get into a lot of your I-Core prerequisites still. You don't have to register techinically until the day before class. For dorms, the NW is typically louder than the other neighborhoods, but that's not to say you can't study there.</p>
<p>Also, if you are not a freshman, then you are not required to be in a dorm. There are usually quite a few apartments available off campus. </p>
<p>Consider this option, since the bus system in Bloomington and at Indiana Univ is very good and free for students once you enroll (it's covered by the transportation fee you pay as part of your registration costs). </p>
<p>Getting to the business school from off-campus takes less than 1/2 hour by bus from most anywhere within 10 blocks of campus. Just try to group the starting times of your classes close to each other, so that you don't have to spend a lot of effort going back and forth from the business school to your apartment multiple times each day.</p>
<p>Ahh I see. It's a relief that there will still be available classes. However, even 20+ minutes to get to school seems a bit of a drag. I was hoping that there would be a way to walk 5 minutes, but perhaps there's not going to any available dormitories, residence halls or on campus apartments available now. Would you recommend living in a dorm or apartment for new students? Thank you so much Calcruzer and A2Wolves.</p>
<p>There will be available housing, kids don't show up, and you can get in. Last year was an extreme case where they had to put some kids in lounges because the yield was very high. I think the 20 minute bus ride is a bit long. I get from campus to the College Mall in 10 minutes. There's lots of apartment complexes by the college mall. If you prefer to walk, you can look for rooms in houses south, west, and NW of campus that are all within 10 minutes walking distance to class, but you'd be rooming with people you don't know. If you can get in residence halls, i'd strongly recommend it. It's not a great idea to live off campus your first year, when you should be on campus making friends.</p>
