<p>any ideas how the dorm selection is given???</p>
<p>also, any ideas for better dorms and what not…such as quiet, loud, cultural, etc…</p>
<p>I have no idea, sorry. Actually, I'd like to ask about the housing app in general...x_x so confused about it.</p>
<p>I'm sure it'll all make sense in mid-May. Hopefully.</p>
<p>As for information about the dorms:
<a href="http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/</a>
<a href="http://daviswiki.org/Residence_Halls%5B/url%5D">http://daviswiki.org/Residence_Halls</a></p>
<p>After you submit your SIR you'll get info in the mail, or a referral to a campus website, to request housing. Unless housing decides to handle things differently this year, there are only a few choices - including rank the areas of campus that you'd like to live in and rank desire to live in a specific "theme" dorm. A computer program is run - everyone who responds by the deadline has about the same chance to get their #1 choice.

<p>What I don't understand is how the learning communites and the other program snatch up all the new dorms, what gives</p>
<p>What? what do you mean by the learning community? isn't the learning community the students?</p>
