The almost universally acknowledged “best” dorm is Good Counsel because the rooms are slightly bigger and they have individual sinks (especially nice for girls). But to be clear the dorms are not great. And neither is the food. Ha! You have to rank three preferences and, in theory, one of your ranked preferences must not be on South Campus. (Almost all freshmen live on South Campus so it is preferred and they tell you you have to rank at least one that is not on South). Second and third choice preferences vary a lot. People have very strong opinions about Stanford dorm as either great or awful. It’s the biggest freshman dorm. If you end up getting unlucky and getting a Main Campus dorm (two of my child’s friends are on main) at least you have a 5-minutes-closer-to-classes walk. And it all works out no matter what you get. But in general everyone wants Good Counsel and everyone wants to be on South. And even though Res Life tells you it doesn’t matter what time your register - it absolutely does matter. If you want Good Counsel, you need to stalk the registration site on ED1 housing registration day until they open it. I assume they normally open it in the morning but this year they “forgot” and didn’t open it until 3:30pm. Go Cats! (责任编辑:) |
