<p>I can’t resist staying this before I begin my reply in regards to the OP… Don’t buy into stereotypes. There are parties everywhere. No one college does it more. Same with drugs. Ignore people who tell you differently.</p>
<p>That said, I think the transfer community is a waste of time. Avoid it. I say this as someone who was a transfer and lived at Porter (but as an affiliate and not as a part of that slap in the face, salt in the wound insult known as the transfer community). I was a little younger than you (I turned 25 after I transferred), but I ended up in a hall with mostly frosh. I was in a single. It was never weird… But they also thought I was a lot younger than I actually was.</p>
<p>Based on what you’ve said, Village would be fine for you. Guaranteed single, choice of a meal plan or not, and on campus. Yes, it’s in lower quarry, but it’s not that bad. I considered it myself when I was worried about getting a single. They are trailers, but I thought they were good when I would visit a friend there.</p>
<p>The old way was better when they used to allow transfers to live at their affiliated college and many would choose the apartments.</p>
<p>And as someone who also did an obscene amount of commuting herself, it was incredible rolling out of bed and walking to class for two years :).</p>
