<p>Hi,
I’m currently a freshman who’s having trouble deciding where to live next year. I got an awful lottery number (somewhere in the 5000s) so my dorm choices are more or less Tower C and Lothrop. I also have the option of living off campus with 2 significantly older roommates (one is a grad student at CMU and the other graduated from Chatham and is currently working two jobs). </p>
<p>The apartment is a bit far (a 15 ride from the Cathedral) but is cheaper and more spacious than a dorm. However, I’m worried that I won’t have as many social opportunities if I live off campus. Would you recommend choosing the apartment? If not, which dorm- Tower C or Lothrop- would you recommend? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
