@Kd6410 The shuttle takes 30-45 minutes only during peak times of the day, which is basically only at 8-9am and 5-6pm. Other than that, it usually takes 10-15 minutes to get to Foggy. If you do get stuck on the Vern, room swap is open almost all year long, so it is very possible to move to Foggy even if you are originally placed on the Vern.

I lived on the Vern my freshmen year and I will honestly say people complain a bit too much about the Vern. The shuttle situation is really annoying, especially when you forget something in your room or have to travel during peak times, but other than that, it was a fine experience for one year. There are even perks to living on the Vern, such as free movie rentals all year long from the Vern library and Vern students get priority registration for Vern classes during their second semester. The library is much less crowded than the library on Foggy Bottom. The Vern library even has two hammocks and a “porch” type of thing, which I did not even know until the end of my freshmen year. Rooms are much nicer in general than any room on Foggy, except for Potomac. Potomac and Vern rooms are equivalent to each other, I would say. There are way more study spaces within the dorm itself compared to dorms on Foggy, in general. They are adding an all-you-can-eat dining hall on the Vern, which is a change from how it is now in that you pay per specific item.
