Don't download off torrents at college. They can track you down a ton easier while you are at college. Don't end up costing your parents $5000 more.

So basically you get about 100-200 kbytes/sec download speeds?

AHRC looks fantastic and probably houses some of the best suites on campus right now. It's like a new improved version of IRC with more room. If you really want to see what it looks like, there is a Facebook group dedicated to AHRC residents. Pictures are posted.

Don't you get a cease and desist letter before they sue you?

i only know that through/with torrents ("bits"??), you can download tv shows, movies, etc. and that it takes a long time?!? my friends have all been telling me to do that stuff, but i'm so confused about all that i haven't really tried. haha, i've also heard it isn't that legit, so it sounds kinda shady, and i don't even know if they work on macs.


anyways...

AKC, thanks for the link. I have applied for a transfer but USC still hasnt told me if I was accepted or not yet, but said they would tell me in the next week. Now my next concern is HOUSING. i would be comin in as a sophomore, now i dont know if anyone would know , but is like all the housing like gone by now? I think i would like livin at Parkside 2(AHRC) or maybe Webb Tower since its by the Drama center and Anneburg Communication School. Does anyone know if Webbs a good place to live?? Im just so scared about even IF i get accepted that housing woulod be all filled. Thanks

Webb Tower is a very popular place to live among continuing undergraduates, so I'm not exactly sure if there are any spots open there. I think all of the spots went out during the first day of housing selection, which was earlier in the year. But yes, it IS a nice place to live. The building was renovated last year, and it is right next to Cafe 84 and the Lyon Center (gym). I'm not too sure about Parkside 2, as that building is new for this year.

Tinkerbell- I've actually stayed in Webb tower once, one of my friends used to live there. I hear it's a very popular place for upperclassmen, space is pretty limited since its apartment based. I hear getting into webb is a lottery. You live with only one roommate I believe and you get a kitchen, small living space, and a bathroom. AHRC on the other hand has spaces opening up here and there I believe, I've already got reassigned around in AHRC a couple times now. In the end, its up to you whether or not you want to live in a brand new suite with 8 other people or live in an older apartment. I say the brand new suite; its a better way to meet more people than an apartment. =) I wouldn't worry much about spaces in AHRC, a lot of new/north/birnkrant rejects ended up there. I'm sure they can assign you a room =)

Thanks AKC, also I saw online theres an application to apply to like at AHRC,did most people have to turn one in. I emailed a women at housing and she said transfers cant live there, but online it says that its a option for transfers. Im so confused. I wanna live some where where its close by where my journalism and theatre classes would be,. I love the room that i lived in this past school yr it was reallly big and im gonna really miss it, it was bigger than your average dorm room and had a sink in it and shared bathroom with 2 othersgirls conntecting to our room. From the pics Ive seen online most of the rooms are small. Is the campus really huge to walk around, i visited when i applied as a freshman but forgot how big it was? I also just like livin with one other person really, more than thats too much bc people might not all get along.idk.lol.
