Butler definitely isn't luxury, but it is probably the best deal on campus in terms of housing. They do get cold in the winter because there is only heat duct in the middle of the house, but most people solve this by using space heaters. I know a few families that live there, but also many grad students use them as doubles because they are so cheap. (All of this being said, they are either being renovated or destroyed in 2013, I don't remember which though.) If you have a pet, you might also want to try Millstone Apts (they are nicer but a little further from campus, I don't have much other info about them).

On your housing request form you can choose whether you want a single, double, or walk through double. I don't think you would have any problem getting a single, but it would most likely be in the New GC complex (or possibly in the GC annex if you choose that option).

FYI on housing - you send in your housing stuff as an incoming student with the rest of your registration, by April 15th. The March 26 deadline is just for current students. There are many 'singles' available in the GC, so you won't necessarily have a roommate. That being said, it's still a dorm, and you're still on a meal plan. I don't believe that your social life will suffer as a result of not living on campus. I currently live in the GC, but only a few of my friends live there. Most of the people I hang out with are in my department (or related departments), or I've met through other means (intramurals, clubs etc.)

Likewise. I thought maybe there would be more emails by now as well... but nothing. Not even from my department, aside from something in early may about doing research over the summer (I'm in chem). Oh well, soon enough I suppose.

I got my contract for NGC a few weeks ago.. it was my last choice :x Oh well, another year of dorms..
