@JJ7373 @trish02 My son is a freshman living in White Creek this year and loves it. He has never ridden the bus; he prefers his bike which he says is at most a 10 minute ride into the other side of campus. Most of the apartments are the 4 bedroom variety, so if you submitted your housing within the priority window, I think you have a very good chance of getting a room in one of those. My son says it is very quiet most of the time, however, he has a 1 bedroom apartment so does not have to deal with suite mates. He knows a sophomore that went pot luck for roommates for a 4 bedroom/4 bathroom and she does have trouble with noise. In her case she is a studious /quiet type and the other 3 living in her apartment are freshman that like to party a lot and within the apartment the walls must be a lot thinner. You can fill out a roommate questionnaire which helps determine suitable roommates, so if you are going potluck, it would probably be a good idea to mark that quiet is really important to you to get similar suite mates. Also, they will have a web page open when it gets closer where you can choose your own roommates.

@fivsmajor White Creek has very few single apartments but every apartment has all single bedrooms within it, if that makes sense. The single apartments are mostly taken up with resident advisers and disability services, so there are very few left if any after that. As far as the distance, that certainly is the downside to White Creek but everything is trade offs. My son says he frequently has friends living in dorms on the other side of campus studying in his apartment because either they lost their internet (which has never been an issue for him at White Creek), or can’t deal with the noise of their dorm/roommate. Also, freshman are required to have a meal plan even living in White Creek which has a full kitchen in it. My son says the cafeterias on campus are pretty bland food and wouldn’t buy it if he didn’t have to. With that in mind he picked the absolute minimum meal plan and makes a lot of his meals in his own apartment. Another great advantage to his apartment is that he has a new washer and dryer all to himself, so doing laundry is not a chore for him at all.

If I remember correctly, after the 4 bedroom apartments, including both the 4 and 2 bath varieties, the next most common is the 2 bedroom 2 bath, singles, then 2 bed 1 bath, however I do not think there are that many 2 bedrooms either. Hope that helps.
