<p>i just sent in my room preferences and my first 2 choices were double and triple.</p>
<p>i have a couple of questions regarding the other choices though:</p>
<p>what's the difference between Ellicott Single w/Double & Ellicott Double w/Single? and Ellicott Triple w/Large Double & Ellicott Large Double w/Triple? and is Ellicott Large Dbl/Large Dbl the same as Ellicott Double w/ Double but bigger or just a large double room?</p>
<p>I believe an Ellicott single w/double implies that you want the single that is paired with the double as opposed to Ellicott double w/single where you want to be in the double that’s attached to a single. </p>
<p>As for the double double and the large double double, I think one of them might have their own bathroom? But I’ll look on the housing website later and let you know if I can find anything for sure.</p>
<p>Single w/double does in fact mean you’re requesting the single room in the combination and vice versa. Ellicott only has corridor style bathrooms - none of the rooms are suite style with their own bathrooms except for Greiner Hall which is Sophomores only. The combination rooms (single w/double, double/double etc) open off of a small shared common area that contains the wardrobe closets similar to the way the quads are set up. The campus living section of the UB website has room dimensions and floor plans, as well as links to zenfolio photos that has renderings of the different room types.</p>
<p>thanks mystery and ubmom for the replies! i had a feeling that it was that way, i just wanted to make sure. would the Ellicott Triple w/Large Double & Ellicott Large Double w/Triple be 2 rooms with a common area with 1 room with 3 roommates and the other with 2 roommates with a bigger room?</p>
<p>I could have sworn there were some guys on my floor who complained that they had to clean their bathroom because they (the four of them) were the only ones with access to it. They are in a large double double and they even have a doorbell to their room, so I assumed they were telling the truth, but they didn’t have to be. I don’t see them use the guys bathroom at the other end of the hall either though… (This is in Richmond dorm of the Ellicott Complex, by the way)
I couldn’t find anything online that hinted they were telling the truth, so I guess the large doubles are just bigger than the normal doubles. </p>
<p>Based on the sample floor-plans UB posted, it looks like a large double is larger than a normal double, but still slightly smaller than a triple. So a large double with a triple would have two almost equal in size rooms with a common area where the closets probably are and then the slightly smaller room would have two people while the bigger room would have three people.

<p>I’ve also seen hints in other places that the upperclassmen halls have a small handful of suite style rooms so you may not be wrong. But there are only hints - no real information anywhere so I suspect they are offered in very specific cases and not a preference you can state. Perhaps held back for medical requests - like one student is a diabetic? In any event, they don’t seem to be available to freshmen.</p>
<p>Maybe. All I know is Richmond is a freshman dorm this year and everyone in my hall is a freshman.</p>
<p>The other dorms with limited suite style rooms do seem to be a bit more forthcoming about having a few suite style options.</p>
<p>While selecting room preferences what do you select for griener?</p>
<p>Grenier had a separate application period, a few weeks before general room reservations. </p>
<p>It’s generally harder to get into Grenier because there are less spots than there are students eligible for housing there, but there is a waiting list.</p>
