Woah. This is perfect. I'm in a similar predicament. Were you planning on rooming on campus?

I'm a freshman in the dorms right now. Chapel Glen is the dorm to be at. Get a 1st floor room, higher ceilings. And get a handicap room if you can, they're bigger. If not, try for a corner room, also roomier.

^don't get a first floor room, the ceiling height is irrelevant. go with the third floor so there's never anyone banging on your ceiling.

ay ceiling height is very relevant if you loft your bed/don't have a single. and on the first floor you can stomp around all you want

FBGMyes, but so can the people on the floor above you, which is my point.


So I guess it's more of a personal preference thing. Do you want the freedom to stomp around a ton or no chance of noisy upstairs neighbors?

drangus.im also prolly gonna bring my car out, would anyone think thats not a good idea as a freshman?


Car is good. We always could have used an extra car or two in our friend group.

Hell yeah! Well if you're down to room, two of my buddies and I were planning on somewhere in 804 Chapel.

As for the car, it's up to you on that one. Your student card comes with an all-access UTA pass. So getting around SLC isn't that hard without a car.

But the bus systems to the hills are slow and inconvenient. When ski season comes around, having to depend on others for rides is really annoying. If you can bring a car out, I'd do it

This season we went with PCMR/Canyons. Next year we'll probably get Brighton or Snowbird/Alta passes.

For sure dawg. I'm sure we can find a place or two for you to crash as well.
