| You will find that you're busy enough with school or other things or just -___-" about additional readings. I was considering bringing a lot of my stuff but... I stopped and resigned to borrowing from Powell... |

| Ok, that's fine. I didn't remember there was a shelf on the desk. Thanks.
How much bedding do you need to keep warm (if you're used to a cold house) - blanket, thin or think comforter...And do you reco a foam pad or are the res hall bunk mattresses reasonably good? | |

| If I wanted to boil water, do I have to use a microwave in my room, or is there a common kitchen in the dorms, like at UCSB? | |

There is no common kitchen. Get an electronic water boiler/kettle/thing. It's not allowed but it should be OK! I had one last year and it was useful for my instant noodle urges.
That, and... if you're on campus, you can ask for hot water from the coffee shops like Kerckhoff and Jimmy's. They charge $0.10 or $0.15 though.  You can also get hot water in the dining halls when you swipe in.
University Apartments? Depends on which building. In contrast to moldau's post, Margan Apts are very nice and A/C'd I think. | |

| Specifically Glenrock west. A new transfer student here, wanted to know the social scene over there; if maybe it was better to stay on campus for meeting new ppl. | |

| Social scene around Glenrock? Well, landfair/gayley = frat parties. Otherwise, you're on your own. It's a bit funny saying "on-campus" when "off-campus" generally refers to north village + all of their apt. complexes and it's just next door to ucla... similar to how "on-campus" housing refers to the dorming >>village<<<-like area. | |
