<p>OMG you guys r my soulmates I just looked into housing too! lol I think I’m going with an off-campus university apartment. I’m sorry but y would i pay upwards of 12k to share a room when I can have 3br/3p w/ parking for only 9k? Sorry i think not.</p>
<p>ur one and only time to live in the dorms–for better or worse, its gonna be an experience u will never forget</p>
<p>My vote goes to Plaza for LA too. Double at the most. Single if I’m lucky.</p>
<p>what if u dont get a double? chances are u will get a triple whether we like it or not</p>
<p>yeah imma fight for my single at Hedrick Summit (Plaza)
and i want my view :(</p>
<p>I don’t believe the plazas have any sort of sign-in rule for guests. I’ve visited friends in Hedrick Summit/Rieber Terrace at night w/o anything. </p>
<p>I don’t know why they implement it for the halls though.</p>
<p>@emilsinclair9 I was on my other laptop and didn’t realize I left this website open! Next time, just PM me so I don’t accidently skip it! (:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>How are the upper div. psych classes? Easy, hard, fun? I’m a complete Psychology nut, I analyze my friends whenever they’re talking…lol…so for ME personally, they are fun. I have a bunch of other Psychology friends who love the classes as well and consider them “fun” but yeah with fun comes easy and hard assignments and such. </p></li>
<li><p>Are you conducting research or working in a lab? Both, I’m now an Honors student here, so…(: </p></li>
<li><p>What grad schools are you considering applying to, and what field will you be entering into? I’m not entirely sure on the specific field (of Psychology, of course) since I’ve been working with so much…I really need the summer to think about it! I’m definitely applying to: Cal, UCLA, USC, Duke and others.</p></li>
<li><p>Where would you recommend transfers live for their first semester? I’m not your typical transfer because I did attend a private univeristy before going back to CC and then to Cal, so I do know how that whole “dorm” thing goes…but for the most part the best advice I can give anyone (freshmen or transfer) is that if you can afford it, get a dorm, the experience is just…I can’t even explain it, lol.</p></li>
<li><p>What sort of things do you do on the weekend? I have an internship at a Psychologists office in San Francisco so I pretty much work all weekends, but whenever I have some time off I like to go shopping (duh, I know, lol) and just kick it. But sometimes due to lab research too I can’t do that…>__<;; You’ll find lots of stuff to do, no worries.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Whenever you think of more, send me a PM! Until then, be patient these next two weeks and good luck!</p>
<p>I’d be happy with a double, but fine with a triple. So long as I have quiet, tidy, friendly, hygenic roommates, I’ll be a happy camper.</p>
<p>I lived in dorms my fresh year…not a great experience. In fact about 89% awful. </p>
<p>-Cramped
-Psycho-roommate (and by psycho, no I do not mean different I mean literally crazy)
-Loud drunks 24/7 (weekends started on Thursdays and sometimes wednesdays)
-Not very clean
-those jail like brick things are cold, not sound proof and hard to decorate
-Laundry (let’s just say having clothes ruined by drunks who think it’s funny to put crayons in the dryer is not fun)
-Fire alarms (often at 3am in the snow, why drunks)
-Not that secure (relatively easy to bypass security)</p>
<p>Overall…dorms nope. Apartments, plazas, suites YUP!</p>
<p>Emil is in love. Totes.</p>
<p>WHERE DID YOU GO, Makemydreams?! Jesus.</p>
<p>omg jane lol the chance of gettin a single suiteeeee–not too probable</p>
<p>i am a very lucky girl, i have won lots of things and class lotteries and i have been accepted to UCLA.</p>
<p>i will put money on myself any day of the week. </p>
<p>if i get my single suite you know where the party is!!!</p>
<p>LOL I go to Univ of Wisconsin Madison (but I’m from Cali)… I lived in “****ty” Witte Hall because it was said to be the most fun & central to campus… WHY!!! lol</p>
<p>PARTY AT JANES! WOOHOO! (No, really… I’m holding you to it!)</p>
<p>When i dormed freshman year I put down that I was messy.
Both my roommates ended being pretty disorganized too (but not unhygienic) but they were super chill and down. (One was a low-key dealer, no joke) </p>
<p>Two years later I’m more clean and organized but I hope more organized roommates doesn’t equal type-A psychos either!</p>
<p>Oh and let’s not forget the outbreak of the NORO virus that had people RELEASING from both ends for like 2 weeks. </p>
<p>Luckily my floor did not get that but it was not pretty for those who did.</p>
<p>Dorms are germ petri dishes. BEWARE!!! lol </p>
<p>I once found a salad in the shower too. Yup gotta love drunks. Because who doesn’t like to slip on lettuce when they’re showering.</p>
<p>Salad in the shower. Hahahaha awesome.</p>
<p>Go Badgers! Lol not really… I just did this AmeriCorps program and our campus was grouped into 4 units… mine was the Badger unit because the dang unit leader was from Wisconsin… All the other units had way better names… Wolf, Eagle, Raven…</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, I totally have OCD when it comes to bathrooms… Thank goodness there’s a housekeeper that cleans at least once a week. My roommate never cleaned the bathroom and had long hair. And I’ll keep it at that. :</p>
<p>Evan, fo’ sho’ fo’ sho’</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>LYSOL!!! will be our bestie in those dorm bathrooms.
never leave without Clorox Wipes either!</p>
