Now that I've been accepted I've began watching more vlogs & reading more blogs to see where we could all be potentionally living for a year I was just wondering if any previous CRP/ICP could input on any positive or negatives about each of the four complexes?? Obviously theres The Commons - party centeral apparently? Chatham Square, Patterson Court & Vista Way (or Vista Lay I've seen it called :) The only thing I would like is that my apartment have a washer & dryer lol.
The commons is the only complex that has washers and dryers in each appartment, all the others have laundry rooms, and for those you have to put money in them!!
Hi!! Well, having been here all of a week I can shed some light on this! I am currently in Chatham due to overcrowding in the commons and patterson (5/7 were put here from the UK). I have american roomies and they are awesome. One of their parents is cooking enchiladas for us as we speak. However, we'll be moved to either commons or patterson within a month, and having spoken to people about which is best we have found that there is a 50/50 split within the UK and more people are moving to patterson because it is newer. Wherever you are placed it is great fun! Just buy cheap phones or use the internal ones for the first few days and it'll be fine, promise. I wouldn't worry about housing, there's loads of people here to help if you have any problems!! x x
vista is oldest and they rarely put crp in there - if they do its just for a short time until they can move you to the commons or maybe patterson now chatham again isnt usually for crp - same sort of thing they tend to put crps therte if theres no room else where and then move them over after. when i was there the commons was pretty much where all the crps were but with paterson opening thats changed patterson doesnt have its own buses which could be a bit of a mare if its bucketing down in one of those fun storms you get
