As I understand it, Global Village is suite-style dorms, and ‘reserved’ for sophomores as a sort of bridge between traditional dorms and on-campus apartments. The suites are 5 or 6-person, and some have limited kitchen facilities, some do not. @b1c497a may have additional information, but my freshman daughter and her group of friends decided it was so popular they would have better luck trying for something else in the housing lottery. I have heard transfer students are sometimes added there as a 5th or 6th person, and also that if you do get in, you are only allowed to stay there one year. In the other on-campus apartments, once you’re in you can stay for multiple years.

I agree that the Pittsford area is very nice, and the Wegmans there is incredible. There is a decent Wegmans closer to campus, that can deliver medications to campus (sign up at orientation) and that the students can get to via a fairly easy bus trip. Target is fairly close by too.
