<p>I actually got screwed, I just put my top 5 like regular, and if you dont tell them specifically that you want to live in a big dorm, then they’ll put you in the transfer dorm. I got put here, I tried to say that above but I realize I wasn’t clear. I was ok with it since fall quarter I had a double as a single, and I didnt mind my roommate who came during winter quarter. Also its like a one minute walk from tech which is where all my pre-med classes were, and its on frat row and when I joined a frat it didnt make sense for me to bother with moving.</p>
<p>That being said, living in the transfer dorm has been annoying since I havent met as many people as I could have in a big dorm, and whenever someone asks where I live(happens alot since its a natural conversational question) you have to say transfer dorm and deal with the same “oh you transfered, from where? why? etc etc” questions. As a junior I’d say it helps just because most other juniors already have strong groups of friends, and living in the transfer dorm you form a close-knit group of friends. But if you’re cool making friends with sophomores and freshman or if you’re social and outgoing you wont have a problem and you should join a big dorm and tell them that you do NOT want to live in transfer dorm. If you emphasize your requests they’ll be cool about it.</p>
