Hi Jbou,


freshmen all live at the top of the hill; most freshmen dorms are on the “Freshmen Quad”. (as you get older your housing options move down the hill)
Gatehouse is NOT bad; it’s a very tight community and you’re right next to the best dining on campus as well as the student center.
Curtis is primarily a freshmen dorm, and Drake is completely sophomores. The lotto works on an individual basis, so you get together with the people yuo want to room with and who ever has the best # is your groups #. Honestly, I think you’d have a lot of arguing over which dorm is the “BEST” dorm.my favorite sophomore dorm is Cutten because you get your own bathrooms and there is an AWESOME study study space, and ex-cafeteria, which has group study rooms and big tables.
Registration stinks because you dont always get into the class you want right away, but I have only ONCE not gotten into a class that I’ve wanted, through perseverance, and that’s because I could take it another semester.
I love listening to my friends radio shows. My roommate writes for the Maroon News, and I think everyone enjoys reading the campus blotter! - They’ve gotten a lot better at distribution of the Maroon News. I don’t personally have time for CUTV, but I know people that watch certain shows religiously.
stranded, definitely not. about 50% of the student body has cars, so you will find friends who will want to join. Also, if there is enough interest, the Center for Leadership and Student Involvement (CLSI) can arrange for a bus there and back.


hope this helps, and best of luck!
