housing — fraternities and sororities, private and University residence halls, and in some private homes. There are many differences in prices, services, types of accommodations, and number of meals served each week, Next, you should consider GENERAL LOCATION. If you expect to enroll in the College of Engineering, for example, you would do better to live on the north side of the campus, because most of your classes will be on the north side. On the other hand, if you enroll in the College of Commerce, you will do better to find housing nearer the south side of the campus. Finally, you should consider the SIZE OF THE GROUP you might want to live with. Individual housing units take care of from two to several hundred residents. By using foresight, you can avoid the common error of finding out too late in the semester that the activities and associations which grow out of the group you have chosen are unsuited to you. If you find that your individual housing problem is causing particular difficulty, take it to the proper Housing Division staff member, and talk over the problem with him. SHOULD I VISIT THE CAMPUS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS? The answer to this question is usually "Yes." By visiting the campus early you get a head start on the housing problem. You can kill several birds with one stone during such a visit — perhaps find out about your entrance permit, settle your housing problem, arrange interviews with department heads or advisors, complete the required physical examination and tests, and attend to other preliminary matters. In this way you will find things easier for you during the busy registration period. W H E N CAN I M O V E INTO M Y ROOM? According to most rental agreements, you will be able to move into your room on the day before the first day of registration. For example: if registration begins on September 10, you can move in September 9, and you pay rent beginning on that day. If you take part in Freshman Week activities, you may move into your room the day before Freshman Week opens. W H A T TYPES OF H O U S I N G INCLUDE BOARD? Since fraternities and sororities serve meals, you will not have to worry about arranging for board if you are pledged to one of them. If you live in the permanent University Residence Halls, in two of the three privately-operated men's residence halls, or in the privately-sponsored women's residence halls, you can also take your meals there and meals are served in most of the approved student homes for women, and in a few of the approved student homes for men. WHERE DO I EAT IF I HAVE TO EAT O U T ? Air View of Parade Ground Units If you live in a student home where meals are not served, you still can choose from: (1) Commercial restaurants, drugstores, etc., which are numerous in the campus area; (2) Private dining clubs, which offer meals to outsiders as well as to students living in the house; (3) University-run cafeterias at the Mini Union Building, Bevier Hall, and the Coffee House. You can buy inexpensive weekly meal tickets for use at the Coffee House Cafeteria. 25 24
