Transfer Housing (Junior Standing)

I was recently accepted into UNC Chapel Hill as a junior transfer student. I was assigned Craige North, and I was hoping for a north campus residence hall with a corridor, rather than suite, layout.

From what I understand, I am stuck with this assignment for the school year, both fall and spring. I suppose I can still hope for senior year - or summer school even - on north campus, giving me the option to experience the best of both worlds; this would, of course, be if I stay in dorms senior year.

What is your opinion on this? I think Craige North and south campus residence halls are known to mostly be assigned to freshman, and labeled with the “freshman experience.” I guess it is cool that I can see what that is about, though, as I was never able to experience that as a transfer.

Also, I think Craige North is a living learning community, something I never even applied for. Does being a resident of the dorm automatically make you a part of the LLC?

I sent them my housing assignment request form, and I must say, I chose Old East and Old West which are probably reservered for legacies and sports players, but hey waht the heck :)!

I also mentioned I wanted a single room, but they seemed to totally disregard any of these requests, as my housing assignment was received two (2) days after I sent off the paperwork. Thus, I am not sure how they could have taken my requests into consideration.

Is there anyway to dispute my housing assignment, for a single room, and somewhere on North Campus, and do you think I should even do so; for one, I still have senior year like I said, and I don’t want to be rude or whatever.

Thanks, and CollegeConfidential is a freakin’ lifesaver!!!
