as a former burke west resident, burke has the best community environment on campus. don’t be scared of the community bathroom or traditional dorm stigma

Hi Anna Thank you for the video…I’m an incoming international graduate student,Saw some on-campus residence halls on the website but couldn’t decide on which one to go for… Please I would appreciate if you could recommend one between this three… a.) Presidential 1 b.) John England Jr. Hall c.) East Edge Thank you so much
Hi Anna, thank you for your video. I’m looking for a list of freshman dorms and how close they are to the main campus. It’s important that my daughter can get to class as quickly as possible. In addition, which freshman dorms have single rooms available with a private bath or semi-private bath and laundry on site. Can you please advise? My daughter missed the sign up date for a suite. Thank you
Hi! All freshman dorms are on the edges of the main campus. The time it'll take to get to class will depend on where her classes are, but location-wise there is not a huge difference between the dorms, especially since her classes will likely be in a variety of buildings. I'm not positive which dorms exactly have singles available since I never stayed in one, but to my knowledge each dorm has a couple available. Each dorm has laundry on-site which is very convenient!
honestly, it has been a second since I've done it but if memory serves me right, you get assigned a date and time that you'll be able to log in and when that time comes, you see the open rooms and are able to select yourself into one. it moves fast! I'm pretty sure they've changed how roommates work since I was there so probably look out for emails telling you how that part works. it'll be great though & if you end up going to bama, I bet you'll love it!!
For me, it was part of my scholarship which is why I continued on campus. When I was there, people had the option to stay on campus after freshman year, but it was a bit more competitive with applications due to limited space but also many just prefer to move off campus after accomplishing the freshman dorm experience
if it hasn't changed, you get to for sure pick one roommate & then you can sometimes successfully plan the other pair in the suite, but only one is guaranteed!
I believe there are exceptions to living on campus as a freshman, but that would be something to reach out to the housing department about to find out more!
freshmen move in before they rush so they don't know yet which sorority they'll be in! sophomore & junior years are common ones to live in-house for most sororities though. & freshmen can change their meal plan from dining halls to the houses so they're still around a lot

agreed! living in suite styles I never knew my neighbors and while their are pros - that is definitely a huge con!
I stayed in Parham (when it was still for girls way back when), and I loved it. I stayed in the same room my entire time in school.
How did you feel not being Greek?
loved the video! I'm gonna be a freshmen this fall (2021) and I'm planning on dorming in ridgecrest south !

YEAHHHH Bryce lawn!!!!! 1 toilet!!!!!
If you didn’t do priority housing, what are the chances of getting a suite?
want is your best about colleges and want is your challenges about colleges.
hi! my recent “Answering All Your Questions” video addresses this!! :)

Harris is traditional also
it took me three days to realize I left burke out
Omg she was so wittle in these videos
agreed, I’ve lived three lifetimes since this era 🤣🤣 but would you believe it was under a year and a half ago
How does room selection work at bama? I got into fall 2023 and it's one of my top choices!
Have you paid your deposit?
I am also for Fall 2023 session

for fall 2023 February 1st is when the housing portal opens and then room selection as well as MCR is available!!
I know it us hard to know for sure, but for selection, the fourth day, can you still get suites? No preference for building
YEAHH new freshhh
Anna, how were you able to be assigned a dorm room after your freshman year? I understand after freshman year students need to move off campus.
For me, it was part of my scholarship which is why I continued on campus. When I was there, people had the option to stay on campus after freshman year, but it was a bit more competitive with applications due to limited space but also many just prefer to move off campus after accomplishing the freshman dorm experience
Thank you for this video. Does any dorm have a full kitchen?
Bryce Lawn and Highlands have full kitchens!
How long does it take for the school to get back on your admission status after application closes?
I got my admission after a month of applying for summer classes
I just got put in Paty, not sure if it’s good or bad
I’ve only known one person in Paty bc it was closed for renovations my freshman year but the one I know did like it!!
Do you get to pick your suitemates?
if it hasn't changed, you get to for sure pick one roommate & then you can sometimes successfully plan the other pair in the suite, but only one is guaranteed!
Is a freshman student allowed to stay off campus?
I believe there are exceptions to living on campus as a freshman, but that would be something to reach out to the housing department about to find out more!
@@AnnaBea thanks alot
@@AnnaBea Thank you for your response. Am I expected to pay my one year tuition fee at a time?
when you're a freshman can you live in the sorority houses?
freshmen move in before they rush so they don't know yet which sorority they'll be in! sophomore & junior years are common ones to live in-house for most sororities though. & freshmen can change their meal plan from dining halls to the houses so they're still around a lot
