Stuff 2 Bring

lakeside675 · 04-02-2006, 08:27 PM

I was just wondering can you bring your own tv if you have a single? and what about the meal plans? I already have my plans for housing done and I just also want to know what are the perks of being a CU student, like name the artists of the concerts, and broadway plays, etc. All right later guys, One love.

Yes. You can also bring a TV if you have a double. You have to pay for cable ($25/month when I was there). I recommend having a TV in your room. It beats fighting with other people to watch a particular show that you want to watch. But, don't just be antisocial and sit in your room and watch TV alone 24/7.

Everyone says most points, least meals. The dining hall sucks. Nobody wishes they had more meals.

If you have a tv, I would bring it; I watch Survivor (deride if you must) which comes on at 8 on thursdays, but at 8 on thursdays you can't get anywhere near a lounge tv because of the OC. It's just nice if no one wants to watch what you do.

I went on the tour before applying, and the guide said to get the most points and the fewest meals. Somehow, I talked myself out of it. I picked the meal plan with eleven meals per week, and I didn't think that was going to be nearly enough. The dining hall meals are sub-par to say the least (except breakfasts which are good). One other thing to consider is that the dining hall is only open for two meals a day: brunch and dinner. I based my meal plan decision on 3 meals per day only to find that they didn't even offer that many. I ate at the dining hall every meal for the last three months and I still lost about 60 meals first semester. Do yourself a favor and believe the students who tell you to get the most points and the fewest meals.

Columbia2002 · 04-04-2006, 11:11 PM

Yes, you can have a TV in any dorm room.

You just have to run a cable from the lounge to your room. People do this all the time.

You have to get very lucky as a senior to get a personal bathroom, dude. Get used to sharing.

couldnt find this anywhere in the dorms posts but there ARE ethernet ports in all the dorm rooms right?

Columbia2002 · 04-05-2006, 06:27 PM

Yep, every dorm room has high-speed ethernet.

The food is horrible. If mud was all you can eat, would you stuffing yourself silly every night?

Two random questions about computers: 1) is the campus wireless at all? 2) is the campus linux friendly?
