Thread: I have a few questions about the dorms (conference center)

    I guess that I can't relate. My time was spent a Stokes hall for a bulk of my college life. I remember being one of the few leftovers during Hurricane Lilly.



    WELCOME

    first of all, i dont think they had the wireless internet when i was there and secondly i didnt have a laptop or a wireless ethernet card so, i couldnt pick up a wireless signal. but, cox internet is really fast and its 40 bucks a month, and if you can find someone to split it with i think its worth it.
    mostly everyone there is from surrounding areas of lafayette. everyone was pretty cool and easy to get along with.

    Do the dorms come with cable access? Like, is it basical cable (10-15 channels) or is it a better package (50-60 channels) ?

    Also, I know a lot of the campus has broadband internet access, but I remember someone telling me that conference center is not one of the buildings with broadband. Is that true? Would I atleast be able to connect to an on campus wireless signal with decent speeds?

    I can't think of any other questions at the moment, but I'm sure I'll come up with some more soon. I would really appreciate any help from anyone who has stayed there, or knows anything about the dorms at all. I just want to be prepared when I come down in a few months.

    Thanks!
    Whatever you do , avoid using the elevators in the conference center the morning after the weekend . Trust me on this .....you don't want to be stuck with that smell . ahh...good ol memories

    Man, I'm just really excited about coming back home. I lived in lafayette for 14 years, then moved here to Houston in 8th grade. I can't wait! Only two more months =) I'm moving in Thursday August 16th at 9:00 AM!! _
    I will be in the Conference Center with you, I move in July 31st though..

    You move in July 31st? Did you have to pay any extra for that extra two and a half weeks you're staying there or anything like that? I thought everyone moved in somewhere between Wednesday and Friday.

    In the Conference Center, how are the bathrooms set up? One for every two rooms or what?

    Yeah, when I went for early orientation they gave us a tour of the conference center (a very brief tour) and that is how it is setup if I remember correctly. I was also excited about the fact that we apparently have people to come and clean the bathrooms, is that true? How often does that happen and what exactly do they do?


    Also, they told us that they are beginning to remodel, or fix up at least, the building floor by floor. That really excited me. I had heard some bad things about the dorms, but I'm assuming it shouldn't be too bad once they finish fixing it up.

    I'm really excited, I get to move in in a little over 30 days now. I should be finding out who my roommate is pretty soon right?
