You're not living on campus for your first year?

3/4/2012 9:03:12 PM

yea i am, but i want a apartment, no dorm..

3/4/2012 9:04:00 PM

I thought the only on campus options were dorms aside from Wolf Village which is only for upperclassmen.

3/4/2012 9:07:23 PM

University Towers is the only freshman option that is not on campus as far as I know, unless you come in very late, and they don't have rooms left.

3/4/2012 9:11:20 PM

Dorms not so bad freshman year. Easier to meet people and bang chicks.

3/4/2012 9:45:24 PM

3/4/2012 9:57:05 PM

yeah, dorms ftw

Living at Avery Close was exciting. I got to watch couples fight in the parking lot, there was an armed robbery in the lot (and numerous on avent ferry), a bunch of people got hit by cars or buses out front while I lived there, and huge groups of indians would stay up til 4am in the parking lot taking photos of each other kicking somebody in their ass.

So yeah, stay at Ivy Commons next door where I never had any problems besides the odd insect due to all the trees and so on in the complex (the parking there is not ass, the prices were reasonable and probably still are, the apartments are adequate).

But really, first year? Stay in the dorms and you'll find out where the parties are and make a lot of friends (since you seem to be outgoing and not a cave troll such as myself). Just uh... I would recommend picking a suite style dorm because you have more control over the bathroom. This sounds dumb, but when you walk from the ass end of Owen to the other end of Owen to use the bathroom you will wish you were in a suite. It's also nicer because you'll get to know your suitemates better.

Also, limit the information you post on your tdub user profile and don't just go telling people on the interbutts where you live in your exuberance to meet new folks.

ok cool, yea i just wanna meet a ton of people and know where shit is and stuff. So Ivy Commons it is. haha

3/5/2012 10:31:57 AM

can a freshman stay at ivy Commons?

3/5/2012 10:34:03 AM

1. Stay in the dorms (UT if you wanna be fancy)

2. Don't put your real name in your profile.

are you that thick? STAY IN A DORM. I get it, high school senior too cool for the dorms, yeh yeh yeh. If you want to meet people, party, and have a good time your first year, then stay on campus. Sure, there are exceptions, but most people love living on campus for their first year just because they get to meet so many people. Staying in an apartment will not afford you the same meet and greet opportunities. And don't pick UT; it's an overpriced POS.

^^^ If's an off-campus apartment so as long as you have money I don't see why not.

Truth. I regret not living on campus my first year or two at State.

How so? Nice, large rooms and way better food than campus.

That's it. The rest are university dorms.

the rooms aren't that much larger than many on campus rooms.
it is overpriced
staying on campus in campus dorms provides many more meet & greets
the food is pretty much the same as on campus
several campus dorms are much nicer than UT, unless UT has been remodeled recently.

3/5/2012 11:47:03 AM

Go UT

3/5/2012 11:52:01 AM

UT is the housing for future frattards.

None of this is true, except for the last one maybe. I haven't been to every dorm on campus.

Sounds like you knew a few dbags. I stayed there and loved it, and I'm pretty normal.

I lived in Wood Hall... it was a little bit of a walk to most classes, but it was also closer to mission valley and the rooms are nice and big, plus it's suite-style.

3/5/2012 12:39:19 PM

I lived in UT for 2 years and I loved it - big rooms, suite style (only share a bathroom with 3 other people), dining hall on the top floor was good, lots of activities and opportunities to meet people, and they had a pool and sand volleyball court.

But it does fill up fast, so reserve a spot ASAP if you're interested.

Regardless, you want to live in a dorm (on campus or UT). TRUST US.

3/5/2012 2:06:10 PM

Stay in the dorms. That's easily my biggest mistake in college. Pretty much didn't socialize with anyone on campus the last couple years.

Get a single room if you hate roommates.

3/5/2012 2:08:48 PM

^^^I had a shit room at Wood. The one right next to the lounge. It was tiny as fuck IMO. AFC after that FTW and sharing the bathroom with only my roommate.

it is all true. sure, there are smaller rooms on campus, but UT isn't the largest and isn't larger by much compared to many

3/5/2012 2:21:02 PM

I lived in Avent Ferry my first two years and even that was too far away, really. Try to get into Bragaw or if you want to meet a ton of people Tucker, Owen, or tri-towers. You will regret it if you live off campus.

3/5/2012 2:37:01 PM

The best way to meet people is to help paint the tunnel.

If you are lucky begonias will press her boobs on the wall and you can take pics.

3/5/2012 10:26:15 PM

My room in Syme was huge.

3/5/2012 10:37:28 PM

North is pretty good. same rooms as most of avent ferry, but closer to everything.

3/5/2012 11:06:43 PM

+1 for the dorms. Nothing like being able to wake up 15 min before class and still make it on time. And being able to go back to your room to hang out/play games/sleep in between classes is a huge plus.
