<p>i'm going to be filling out my housing contract this week and i was wondering which you guys would recommend over the other. i've heard these are the two main freshmen dorms and are the most social. i am not planning on being in greek or a major/intense partier. if you guys could let me know what you think that'd be helpful!</p>
<p>you do not need to pick until you get the email with the date and time depending on your priority number/when you paid the 25.00</p>
<p>Putting your choices online on the contract is for people who want to be manually placed by UF in a dorm</p>
<p>Source: I called and asked</p>
<p>as far as choices, I am in the situation as you. where to pick?</p>
<p>Broward and Jennings are basically interchangeable, and almost exactly the same. Personally, I like Jennings better because I like the layout; it has a cooler common area and nice tall ceilings, and it seems less “dungeon-y” than Broward. Overall, though, the experience in either dorm will be the same :)</p>
<p>alovestori- Do you know anything about Rawlings? Trying to decide if that is a good choice for summer B and for Fall. Was it updated at the same time as broward? Any info is appreciated!</p>
<p>I’ve only been inside Rawlings maybe five or six times, and last time I was there it was not renovated, but it was always a lot nicer than the main Broward (but still part of the “Broward Area”)! It’s an AWESOME location, too; right next to Broward dining and close to the central hub on campus, the hospital (where a lot of pre-health students have classes), and many classroom buildings. It’s also right next to sorority row, which is great if your D plans on rushing. I know a few girls who loved Rawlings, never heard anything bad about it. 
Dorms at UF are not luxurious at all, but that’s one of the more social and typically freshman-friendly dorm.</p>
<p>2013cheer- so do i not put my preferences in on the housing contract at all then? if i do does that like cancel out my priority number or something? or do i do both? i sent my app/paid the $25 back in september</p>
<p>I did not ask if it mattered one way or the other</p>
<p>I asked if I needed to put choices down if I planned on picking my own room…she said I did not need to put choices(My personal opinion is it would not matter because you are allowed to keep switching your choices til the end)</p>
<p>She confirmed that I would get an email with a date and time to pick my room based on my 25.00 deposit date.( and that is what I really wanted to Know)</p>
<p>Also, It appears that people who are in summerB/Fall get to pick first in March if they want to stay in the same room. So that is the thing to keep in mind if you have a higher/lower priority #</p>
<p>From email:
“Summer B students who completed both a Summer B and Fall/Spring Contract by the due date above will have the opportunity in March to select a Summer B room. If this Summer B room is also open for Fall/Spring the Assignments team will roll your assignment forward for Fall/Spring. This will only be offered in the month of March. This will save you time and money. If your rooms are not the same for Summer B and Fall then you will have to move out during the break period. UF Housing does not have storage between Summer B and Fall. *If you transfer rooms in Summer B (one you are on campus) your room will not be transferred for Fall/Spring.”</p>
<p>Halls you can choose from:
Murphee
Beaty
Yullee
Reid
Mallory
Rawlings
Spring
Lakeside
(pretty sure this is correct list…it is on housing contract)</p>
<p>So if you want a different hall for Fall, you will have to move</p>
