<p>What's the selection process for the dorms? I haven't enrolled yet, so I haven't gotten the questionaire. </p>
<p>But is there a place where u specify which res. hall you would prefer? If so, do students usually get what they want?</p>
<p>Same with the roomate question: can you specify single vs. double room? And if so, do students usually get what they asked for?</p>
<p>The form is online, to be done by May 1. You won't get the form after enrolling, so you better do it online as soon as you can. The link is <a href="http://www.columbia.edu/cu/reshalls/firstyr/%5B/url%5D">http://www.columbia.edu/cu/reshalls/firstyr/</a>, where there is an online application, <a href="https://www.urh.columbia.edu/fyapps/application.html%5B/url%5D">https://www.urh.columbia.edu/fyapps/application.html</a>. DO IT. Electronic placement "seeks to place students" with their first-choice requests.</p>
<p>oh wow thanks man</p>
<p>This is from the website...No special consideration is given to early applicants. </p>
<p>A computer generates random numbers and thats how they pick....
So at long as you sign up before May 1 you're ok</p>
