<p>I applied for single dorm room in the Multicultural Living and Learning Unit (part of Clara Dickinson Hall). Apparently I did get assigned to a dorm room in MCLLU because when I checked my housing portal page, it says DKML 2615 and UG single. Is this going to be my dorm room for the rest of the year and what are dorms in MCLLU like? Also, do you think it would be reasonable for me to get a car for my freshman year? I would love to hear from people currently enrolled in Cornell. You can also give me any other advice that you think may help me survive my freshman year.</p>
<p>I don’t think a car is totally necessary for freshman year…especially given the cost of the parking permit and gas. You really don’t need to live campus and the #30 TCAT bus service that takes you to the mall isn’t bad.</p>
<p>Once you move off-campus or move up to the ranks of the upperclassman a car is a nice luxury.</p>
