| Which dorm community should I reside in?
Im in a deadlock tie between morrison community vs. hinton james community vs. ehringhaus community. Out of all the three, which one is the best one it terms of dorm size, air conditioning, and social scene?
Thanks
p.s I have 3 roommates and we want to stick together. |

| Morrison is basically impossible to get into. Apparently if you list suitemates on your housing app, you're automatically put into Hinton James. | |

| Literally nearly every sophomore I know will be in Morrison next year, so yeah, it may be a bit difficult to get. You're nearly guaranteed to end up in Hinton James if you want to keep your suite together. | |

| agreed with heathergee. Heck, even some of my sophomore friends that wanted Morrison or even North campus ended up in a directional dorm they did not want. Don't put Morrison down as a choice.
p.s. Hinton James > Ehaus. It's bigger, not as loud as Craige (which imo is so freaking loud that you can sometimes hear them from across the street...), and has more rooms with AC. | |

| Don't even bother with Carmichael. It's basically filled already with people in learning communities, sophomores/upperclassmen, and athletes.
I know because most people I know put it as their first choice...and I know 3 people total who actually got in. So yeah, Carmichael will be super competitive.
Manning East and West are pretty good options. Still probably competitive to get, but I'd prefer one of them over the other South Campus dorms.
In case you're curious, freshmen basketball players will be living in Horton, which is in the Manning East community. | |

| Danny, What do you WANT in those three areas...social scene, a/c, dorm size? If you have 4 people together and want to stay together I think the only place you can go is a suite, the suites are 4 rooms...they do have 4 single rooms in HJ if you are really lucky....or 2 double rooms in a 4 double suite....good luck. | |

| so cloying, in your opinion a first-year living in cobb is not disadvantaged by not having lived on south | |
