deborahhh- They weren't options for when I applied for housing as well. I think it's because all spaces for New/North is already taken, so they took it off the list.

vienna... they are under very different names.. i have listed the variations of new/north from the housing app below...

University Residence Hall (North) - SNGL
University Residence Hall (North) - DBLE
Harris Residence Hall (North) - DBLE - WS
Harris Residence Hall (North) - SNGL
Harris Residence Hall (North) - SNGL - WS
College Residence Hall (New) - DBLE
College Residence Hall (New) - SNGL
Elizabeth Von Kleinsmid Res. Hall (New) - DBLE-WS
Elizabeth Von Kleinsmid Res. Hall (New) - SNGL-WS
Elizabeth Von Kleinsmid Res. Hall (New) - SNGL


The parenthases tell if its new or north.. and then it is either a double, single, && the WS means with a sink. HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Are there any buildings that alternate gender by room? From the brochure it seemed like most alternated by floor, and a couple alternated by hall, but i didn't see any that specifically said they alternate by room.

I was wondering the same. Does Coed by hall mean alternating rooms or what? Also, is that coed by hall only in north or also new as well and just not listed in the acceptance package?

Is New/North really as crazy as people say it is? So far I think I'm leaning on Birnkrant for a toned down version of New North...but if I don't get it what are some other good dorms? I heard Fluor has some nice looking swimmers haha, but don't like the fact that parkside and fluor are isolated.

Also when you get Birnkrant or whatever...is it better to go doubles or triples?

^ There's Pardee which apparently is nice too...similar to Birnkrant. Also Radisson has its advantages too (private bathroom, AC, maid service)

does anyone have anything to say about the century apartments? is that a good choice for housing? i'm thinking as putting that place as my top choice.

lewis208

century was like the first housing i ruled out... it's so far away from classes and all the action, and more upperclassmen live there... i'd rather be with more kids from my year. if you like the apartment/suite style, i'd pick parkside or fluor before doing century.

Lindsay2259

The freshman I know in Century don't seem very happy, mainly because they had a hard time adjusting because they were surrounded by upperclassmen. I would recommend living in a dorm style place, since it will be the only time you will ever get to be in that type of environment.

KHans- Thanks so much!! It really does quite help I just wish it wasn't so confusing in the beginning.

i have a question. i have put down Dean's Hall for my special interest group, but after I heard from you guys, I definitely want to move locations. Somewhere that's relatively quieter, but still sociable. Do they consider your choices more than your special interest?

And I'm really interested in the International Parkside. It sounds like a really nice cultural experience on the packet they sent us.

The New Res. Col. site says that there is a Business Floor, but the page about the Business Floor says that it is at North Res. Col... so which is it?

I visited Parkside yesterday and it looked very nice. The students are talked to who lived there were very happy. There is a study room on first floor. They seem to have dorm activities like going out to eat at international restaurants and ordering in foreign foods. It is a little out of the way, but within reason. Lots of students bike around campus.

i applied to international residential college and fluor tower.!.

If you applied to birnkrant last week is there a low chance of even getting it? Also, would it be preferable to get a birnkrant triple if you don't mind having an extra person?
