That's what someone told me.

I'm fine with Alta Dena milk. (:

I drink Whole or 2%. I try to stay away from Fat Free because it's so disgusting.

can anyone comment on the quality of Sproul Hall?

[mme-lin]

sproul hall has been closed the last few years . . . in any case, they dont have food there, guys? it's covel . . . ?

1. sproul will be newly renovated starting in the summer
2. there's no dining hall as emm said, so that's a moot point
3. if you live in sproul on the side facing drake stadium, be prepared to get a loud wakeup-call courtesy of the bruin marching band during band camp/zero week

As a freshman, how hard will it be to get single room in any of the Plazas? I am hoping to get a single suite with a shared bath (a 10 person suite?? the floor plan shows 5 persons/suite). I am very easily distracted, so i am trying to limit my distractions as much as possible. I've heard that singles are mostly for upper classmen though.

lets just say you'll be very lucky if you dont get a triple.

are apartments coed or single sex?

[VTECaddict]

university apartments are single sex. private apartments are whatever.

hey i am wondering about what will be the best residence hall for freshman next year?

rieber is closed. i hear sproul will have lots of sophomores in it since it is opening from renovation.

that leaves dykstra and hedrick. is hedrick a lot nicer than dykstra? i don't mind an extra walk to hedrick, but is it really really really far?

any advice for freshman housing in residence halls next year?

thanks

[VTECaddict]

you dont get to pick, so it doesnt matter.

but to answer your question, hedrick is a bit nicer (newer) than dykstra.

[liyana179]

you'll have a better chance of getting into sproul if you're a girl (there were more female than male rooms left after signups)/

then again, as VTEC said, you don't pick which hall you want, just that you want a hall. and not all people even get that... you get what you get.

hedrick may be newer but thae walk is a biotch... so i guess the upside of that is no frosh 15!

please excuse typoes, i'm on an ackerman computer which deletes my entire post every time i hit backspace >.<

[hibiscuspink]

Uh. No. Even with Hedrick, there is a very real possibility of a freshman fifteen :'(

[liyana179]

yes i know... i got the soph 15 and i live up here, too.

i'm just sayin' that for dedicated walkers, every little bit helps... my weakness, however, lies in evening van service

[g00gle]

I know that the housing application is now up....do I have a better chance of getting what I want (a plaza) if I submit it earlier? Or is it okay if I wait until the end of April?
