Are you going to apply to a themed dorm? I was deciding between Risley (Riz is decked out with stuff that normal dorms don't have like a dance studio, recording studio, etc.) and hoping for Donlon, haha. I crashed in my friends' rooms in those dorms while I was in Ithaca for Cornell Days and I really loved both.
I think I've resigned myself to letting Cornell randomly pick my roommate. Hopefully she showers daily, does her laundry, etc. I looked through the roomie applications in the Facebook group but, even though I found a few people I thought seemed really cool, I felt awkward about decisively asking a stranger to be my roommate. So yeah.
nah, I'm not applying for a themed dorm. I'm hoping for mews, court-kay-bauer, and donlon in that order. I haven't actually visited any of the rooms, though; I just went this past monday and didn't have enough time to go to my friends' dorm. T__T but she lives in low rise, anyway, and she doesn't like it much.
yeah, I know what you mean about asking a stranger to be a roommate. I'm talking on fb with this girl right now who seems like she'd be a good roommate but I feel really awkward asking. ><
I am just afraid to go through with the random process again. D:
