My daughter will be a junior in Art Ed program. We re trying to fill out housing and meal plan form. She will live on campus first year. Wanted Moore complex but have been told it has waiting list. Told she has to choose towers. Form has which tower to check - does it matter??? How about the North Wing/Honor's Floor - if she is not a partier would that be a choice and how do you get in? She has 3.89 GPA.
We have no idea how to pick a meal plan. Just need serious suggestions

I am currently going for the towers with one other girl we are both transferring as juniors too. As far as I know, the towers are pretty similar, I was told they just place you in any based on availability. For the meal plans, here is a link explaining them all. Junior's are not required to get one, I am choosing the flex plus. (45 meals a semester and $1000 flex dollars) http://www.bengaldining.com/plans.html

I don't know anything about the other housing options.

Thanks so much! DId yo already know this other transfer student before? I am hoping they do not put my daughter in with other kids who have already been going to buff State - hoping it is a Suite with all transfers....do you know how we arrange that?

you wouldve had to meet other people transferring and put their name on the housing application to be put with them. i transferred in the fall and was put with people i didnt know but everything worked out really well

No, I haven't met the girl before, we contacted eachother through this forum as we were both interested in finding someone transferring as well to live with. We both fear that we will be put with people that were already living together, or already familiar with Buff State. I honestly don't know how to set it up to have transfer students in a Suite, other than finding them and writing it on the Paper.

Thanks

It is probably because we just got a new dining services company... I'll keep an eye out for ya though!

The new website for our dining service is http://www.dineoncampus.com/bsc/

To see the new menus, go to 'Places to eat' at the top. All of the establishments are listed, the prices are not correct and not all of the items on the menu have been fully updated ... Our new taco place supposedly serves margaritas but I'm sure they will change that.



Here is a picture of our new Spot Coffee

You're welcome. All the other shops are still being worked on, so I don't have any pictures yet.
