<p>I have about 3 days to send the housing deposit thing so i need two questoins answered fast:</p>

<p>1) Is the form due on May 25 only for the $200 deposit OR do I have to include my top 5 dorm choices as well?</p>

<p>2) Isnt there some sort of essay that you need to write to live in a residential college? When is that essay due? And, for example, Slivka and Willard are my first two choices then do i need to mail 2 essays by May 25 as well? … i’m confused =(</p>

<p>I also have 2 less urgent questions that I would also appreciate help with:</p>

<p>3) I know all dorms on the NW site are not available to freshmen so can somebody make a list of which dorms that freshmen can chose from?</p>

<p>4) Can someone make a list of dorms in terms of cleanliness for a cleanfreak like me? I would strongly prefer not to have a community bathroom so I am putting Slivka first since you have suites with about 4 peopel sharing a bathroom… is that correct? So if someone could make a list of freshmen dorms that have more “personal” type bathrooms or, if none other dorms do, then a high level of cleanliness, I would appreciate it. (I am willing to sacrifice lots of fun for cleanliness but not so much that I would like to live in the Healthy living non drinking dorm thingy)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot to anyone who can spare a moment to answer =)</p>

<p>1) May 25th is the deadline for the deposit, they havent sent out the housing app yet. Freshman housing applications are due by Friday, June 10, 2005. </p>

<p>2) My guess is that its due with or after the app</p>

<p>3) Kemper Hall, 2251 Sheridan, Sigma Alpha Iota, and Alpha Epsilon Pi</p>

<p>4) I think Slivka and Foster Walker are the only dorms with suites that Freshman can live in.</p>

<p>Only send the money (and the label). They will send you housing info; the whole housing app is online also. </p>

<p>freshmen cant live in Kemper or sororities/frats . . .I don’t know about the other ones.</p>

<p>thanks a lot guys.</p>

<p>So you are saying that the list of my 5 dorms is part of the housing app that is due on June 10 and not on May 25… correct?</p>

<p>Also, does anybody know more about Foster Walker? How does it compare with Slivka?</p>

<p>And what are some other dorms that are clean/have clean bathrooms?</p>

<p>1835 Hinman is also suite style.</p>

<p>I heard the singles in foster walker are small. The food isnt all that great either. they’re pretty anti-social.</p>
