hey does anyone know if we find out BEFORE who we will be living with or how many people you'll be living with? or is it pretty much, you just find out when you get there? just curious if anyone knew?! -liz
Hey Its very much you see when you get there! I think you used to be able to say a preference for the number of people in the apartment, but I don't think they do that any more! Charlotte x
Hey everyone! I have some questions about what's in the commons apartments when we get there, I know this is probably gonna sound really stupid but hey i'm curious. Are there alarm clocks? Is it true there are washers and dryers in each apartment? Is there any type of music player? Well this is all that i can think of right now but i'm sure i'll pop out some more questions later on, if you don't mind. Thanks for the help!
You won't find out how many people you live with until you arrive. Even if you made a preference doesn't mean they will stick to it. As far as I know there is no way to request who you share with or which apartment prior to when you arrive and even if you apply for a change at some point during the year, it will depend on if they feel kind. As for the other questions, No they don't supply alarm clocks. Yes, if you are staying in the Commons there is a washer and dryer in each apartment, but there are shared ones in Vista Way and Chatham. There is normally some way to pay music in the apartment. People buy stuff when they're there and leave it after the contract so apartments tend to accumulate TV's, VCR's, Hi-Fi's etc but its not guaranteed. They're not expensive to buy one at Walmart or Walgreens though. Rich
Okay guys, Are we allowed to keep our Disney name tag after we've completed the program? Are there locks on the bedroom doors? What is this about "formal" nights that the website talks about? What is the definintion of "formal"? Thanks a bunch you guys for helping me out with these!
yes i really want to konw if there are locks on the bedroom doors too! haha...and is there only one bathroom per apartmen? say if you're living with 7 people, is there only one bathroom?
Hey!! how are you. Well the bedrooms do have locks but not many people uses them, i mean u have to decide with your roomate how the lock thing is gonna be used. and the bathrooms well usually there is one bath for each 2 people, so if there are 8 in the apartment there will be 4 baths and if its a 2 persona apt only one bath. And the formal nights im not sure if u are talking about the limo partys? if you are the limo partys are just partys and you have to be dressed formal, like if u were going to a wedding And finally... of course u can keep your name tag, and when u are there most of the people orders more name tags so usually u end the year with 2 o 3 name tags that you can keep.
