I heard that most Freshmen end up in the North Campus dorms (Baites I think...) Is this true?

Heplayer92 · 11-07-2009, 01:34 PM

Most College of Engineering students live in North Campus. The dorms are really nice up there though....

My friend whose a freshman is sharing a triple suite...complete with his own bathroom and they even have a kitchen!

yosup · 11-07-2009, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I've always wanted to live in a suite. I saw pics on the housing site and they look really nice! Is it possible for me and a couple of friends to be in a triple suite together? Can the three of us sign up together when we apply for housing? Do they have to be Engineering students?

^
I'm not a student at University of Michigan but have read threads on this before. North Campus usually is engineering students, others placed on North Campus generally do not want to be there. North Campus is usually a freshmen last choice ( most freshmen are generally placed in quad or somewhere main). I think if you and a couple of friends want to dorm North Campus as triple the university probably will do so.

Wait so is North Quad on North Campus?

Coolbrezze · 11-07-2009, 04:17 PM

I don't think so, I think its the new hall they are building which is like across from a Ann Arbor downtown.

Edit: Yes North Quad is a new hall soon to be completed but according to given information its not a hall open to freshmen.

aww really? engineering students are usually placed in north campus dorms? Freshman engineering students don't really take too many classes up there though.

chinaismine · 11-07-2009, 04:31 PM

No, engineering students are not usually placed on north campus. You have the same chance of getting a "good" dorm as anyone else.

Cacciato · 11-07-2009, 06:10 PM

how did u guys get your decisions so early? 0.0 I applied Early Response as well.

kelsmom · 11-07-2009, 07:22 PM

The kids in my son's class who have already been accepted applied well before the early response deadline. If you submitted your app close to the deadline (like my kid!), you won't hear quite yet.

To those of you talking about housing, a large percentage of freshmen are put on North Campus (especially Bursley), probably the majority. Other than that, it's mostly engineering and arts students at North. Yes the bus is a pain but the engineering campus is really pretty if nothing else.

where do most nursing students dorm first year? Would it matter since there wouldn't really be any classes in the nursing school first year?

be_somebody · 11-08-2009, 12:28 PM

North Quad is not on North Campus, it's still on Central.

Honestly, North Campus isn't that bad, especially if you're a music, art, theater, or engineering student. Trying to get a bus at 2am on a Saturday on Central to North while intoxicated can be a pain, but is not impossible by any means. I live in Bursley and my hall's a good bunch of people, not to mention a large majority of people in Bursley are freshman, if that's a factor.

yosup · 11-08-2009, 12:34 PM

^ Yeah I wanted to be with other Freshmen, and Bursly's cafeteria looks really nice.

If me and a couple of friends want to share a triple suite, what are the chances of this actually happening? Does U of M honor this type of request for Freshmen? Or do our roommates usually end up being random ppl?

smart.cookie · 11-08-2009, 12:36 PM

@ rkgotitans:
Nursing students have an equal likelihood as anyone else of getting placed on North Campus. It would be better to be on Central Campus, though, because freshmen year you do take some of your courses at the Nursing School (I think you take 1 per semester there...)
