My Experience in Private Certified Housing

My Experience in Private Certified Housing Hey guys, As some of you may already know, Im a senior, so Ive been removed from the housing process  for about three years now. However, I still recall my days in Private Certified  Housing very vividly, so I hope I can help you out there. When I was a freshman, just like now, we had two choices: University  or Private Certified Housing. A  lot of my friends from high school who had also gotten into Illinois  had gone with  Private Certified Housing because of the bigger rooms, so I did  too. Specifically, we all lived at Bromley Hall on 3rd and Chalmers. (Image found here) Bromley was a very cool building. It had 13 stories (I lived on the 13th), a swimming pool, a workout room, a computer lab, and other recreational stuff like a ping-pong table. The floors were co-ed, so there was equal opportunity to meet both guys and girls. It was also pretty central to the Quad, the ARC, and to a bus stop, so I really was never in want of anything as a freshman. I would say my only complaint was  that, because Private Certified Housing has a different credit system than University Housing, I could only eat at Bromley. Well, I hope my experience  helps you guys make a better decision when youre deciding  where to live next fall. Until next time, Kenny Kenny Class of 2016 I’m in the Creative Writing program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I’m originally from Tampa, Florida, but I’ve been calling Illinois my home since 1998. I’ve lived all over the Northwest suburbs, from Palatine to Lakemoor to where I currently live back home, Mundelein.
