<p>I was wondering, can we request a roommate with the opposite sex? I clicked gender-neutral housing, and wrote a sound reason why I preferred that. So can we? And basically, do we make agreements with the roommates on facebook, then enter their names in myneu?</p>
<p>Also, where in myneu can we request a suite? I want a 4-persons room, and where do we see the prices of different room types? I saw from NU's website that there will be a welcoming packet about housing things, but as of now I haven't received them? Thanks!</p>
<p>Gender-neutral housing means that you could have a SUITEMATE of the same gender or the different gender (hence the word “neutral”). We don’t have any housing where your actual roommate sleeping in the same room as you is a different gender. Gender-neutral housing has two singles connected by a bathroom. No one is in your actual room, and the person in the other room could be male or female.</p>
<p>Note that you need to contact housing directly to make sure your request for gender-neutral housing goes through. As of now, that group is mainly upperclassmen.

<p>Suites are only in certain buildings, and you can’t request particular buildings. Sometimes you’ll get lucky- for instance if you pick a particular LLC and it happens to get placed in a suite-style dorm. But the LLCs have been moving around a lot in the past few years, so it’s hard to bet on where you’ll end up.</p>
<p>This site has the rates and much more information:

<p>oh i just read that gender neutral housing is not available to first year students?.. :[</p>
<p>Like I said, you have to specifically request it. It explains the website link I posted.</p>
