^^^ I've heard that before. Part of the new plan to construct more dorms. I heard UW is fixing up the other too.

But man .... My roommate doesn't even respond to me .... This is going to be one long quarter before I can probably move to North campus ...

[Nancy1210]

My roommate moves to sorority house though. I have to wait for a new one :-<

so is it true that freshmen living in halls other than Lander&Terry make less friends than those in these 2 halls?

I got a double in McCarty though my 1st choice is Terry, don't know I should feel happy or sad

[misschhouy]

That is false about making fewer friends if you live elsewhere than Terry & Lander. My freshmen year, I lived in a triple in McCarty Hall. I think I made as much friends as the freshmen who lived in those “freshmen” geared- dorms. One of the smartest thing to do is to leave your door open every day during Dawg Daze week. That’s when everybody is moving in and you can say “hi” or start conversations with your new floor mates. My roommates and I met both of neighbors easily because they saw that our door was open and dropped by to say Hello.

Second, take the initiative to meet people. Just don’t wait for people to come talk to you. One of the fun ideas I had was to write hello messages on all my floor mates’ door message board to come hang out in Room 475 (my old dorm) on the second day we lived there. And as crazy as it seems, my dorm became a social gathering for like 10-12 people during the first week of school.

Third, it’s great to introduce your FIG friends to your dorm friends. We all became one big group. True story, but one of my good friends from my FIG met & dated one of my dorm friends for a long time.

Other ways to make friends, try your quiz section classes. Sometimes it is easier to meet someone in a smaller setting. Parties; have fun but do it moderately. Also, try branching into different student organizations. I did that during my freshmen year with KhSA. And I became an officer the next year.

I really think the first two years is when students are adjusting to school, trying to meet new friends, and seeing where they fit in the social aspect of college. But once you hit junior year, that’s when it hella sink in that you need to focus on school & get into your major. That’s how I feel like right now

^ wow that's deep haha. thanks for that. although i'm commutingm i am definitely joining a lot of clubs and activities. what major are you in?

[Nancy1210]

^^ thanks a lot, that surely helps me a lot )

[misschhouy]

I'm glad that helped If you have any other questions, just ask. And I'm majoring in Business. And yourself?

[Verest]

although i'm commutingm i am definitely joining a lot of clubs and activities.

There's usually a club fair where everyone sets up their booths. Last year it was on the HUB lawn and that's how I ended up in some of the organizations I participated in.

I'm sure you'll find out when and where it'll be but make sure to check it out for any other clubs. This goes for everyone else too.

I'm working on transferring in through the running start program with a Pre-Pharmacy major. It ranks 5th for that field so I made stay for Pharm.D but I'm highly considering a transfer to University of California--San Francisco. Still, that campus is beautiful there! Is anyone here in a Sorority/Fraternity at UW? I'm really interested in joining but I heard from a friend that they're stereotypical stuck ups. There's a lot of houses there so I highly doubt they're all like that.

yyeah! i'm excited for the club booths and stuff (: isn't it during dawg daze? or not..

so i'm going to the crown j signing tomorrow! (woohooooo, anyone else going?) so i have a question, to Verest, i guess because you're helping out there, right..? uhh, so do they have a poster that they give us? haha, kind of a dumb question, but just wondering cause i've never been to one of these before. and pictures are okay right? sweeet, thanks.

Yeah booths and stuff will be during Dawg Daze. I'm assuming the club fair will setup once again on the hub lawn so as long as you pass by there around lunch time you'll most likely see it.

Don't forget to check the Dawg Daze schedule once we start getting close to the beginning of the quarter.

As for posters, I'm assuming based off past experience (Se7en, Epik High) that they will have them. There were some tiny ones posted at the Celltowns in the U-District but I doubt the ones they'll use at the signing will be that small.

Pictures are definitely okay. Pictures with him is another story. They allowed it with Se7en, not with Epik High but they were tired at the signing.

ahhhh i met crown j! he has such an adorable smile (: although he came 30 minutes late.. he was so nice. & got a picture with him, sweet. did anyone else go?!

He would've been on time if it weren't for traffic/rush hour (can't realistically expect him to be on time on a Friday at 4 PM lol).

Hope whoever else went felt satisfied.

I'd have photos and video up by now but the higher ups want a look at them first

But yeah apparently he's hitting up Ibiza right now.

[bboyrushfive]

ugh... crownj is such a f_a_g_g_o_t. fake kid who tries to talk hard in english on korean shows makes me lmao

[Verest]

^ lol well I was going to ask how the concert was for everyone but I think I'll just leave this here...

I think I remember hearing a shoutout to Soompi, allkpop, and our school's KSA (Korean Student Association). Keep an eye out for KSA during Dawg Daze, freshman, new transfers, along with a ton of other clubs and activities.

Here's concert footage for anyone interested except for a few videos that were taken down due to copyright claim by Flyboy Entertainment, Inc.

how are triple rooms set up?
I got a triple in Terry and I remember at orientation even though the rooms have 3 desks they only have 2 closets. So does that mean triples have to share 2 closets? Or do we get a 3rd closet. How would it fit?

[Verest]

So.......any girls looking for an apartment for Fall? Trying to help two friends of mine find a one or two more roommates.

3 people, rent would only be $433 before utils, deposit is $600 so $200 each.

You'd be living at The Barclay Apartments on 47th & 16th http://www.trinitypartnership.net/building.aspx?id=29

If you're the third person, you'd get your own room.

Unlike most leases you'd move in October and not have to waste the whole month of September when there isn't even any school.

When I was in Terry, two people shared a closet that is split down the middle and slept on a bunk bed. I had a bed with my desk underneath it, and my own closet. Hope that helped
