Freshman Housing-Townhouse Community?

In the past, they were freshman only. Last year (and the year before too?) they had a mix of transfers and freshmen. I don’t think there would be transfers and freshmen in the same townhouse though- your D’s roommate would be a fellow freshman. (anyone correct me if they had a different experience).

Does your D want to request the townhouses? Most freshmen want the traditional dorm experience so do not request the townhouses. If she requested it, there is a very good chance she would get it.

Not sure if you are considering Balch (a lot of people are suggesting it for some reason) but same deal- if you request it, you will get placed there.

I did love the townhouses. The only drawback of the townhouses is that you live with only 3 other people- so hopefully you like them. It’s not like a dorm situation, where if the rooms next to yours are filled with weirdos, you have a whole selection of people a little further down the hallway for potential friends.
