<p>Well, I’m kinda confused on how to sign up online for housing. Also, which dorm is the best for an incoming freshmen in respect to proximity to classes, safety, size, etc?</p>
<p>Knowing any of that information wouldn't help you because you don't get to pick your dorm. They have a tiny questionnaire to help figure out living habits and put you with compatible people but I think they end up ignoring it anyway (other than perhaps requesting single-sex housing). If somebody here told you the "best dorm," although they're all pretty similar, you'd just end up being disappointed if they didn't put you in it.</p>
<p>You can put a housing choice in writing. Deispremed is completely wrong when he says they're all pretty similar. Scheffres and Gordon were just renovated, so I would put in writing "I hereby request to be housed in Scheffres or Gordon" to ResLife. But, I don't know how realistic of a shot you have of getting in here. ResLife places you in housing based on the date your matriculation deposit has been received. It's late in the game; it's very possible the nicer dorms are full.</p>
<p>I stand corrected. When I was a freshman there were no renovated dorms.</p>
<p>what do you do after you saved the preferences online? are there anymore actions that should follow? sorry, kinda confused.</p>
<p>drinking, I think that's it. Kinda' threw me for a loop, too, when I did it. I guess we just keep our fingers crossed from here on in.</p>
