I committed to Smith two weeks ago :). I was wondering when housing applications are going to come out. Can I pick my roommate beforehand?
If I am remember correctly when housing info is sent, you rank your choices of neighborhoods such as Green St, Lower Elm, etc

They said on the tour you could express a preference for a particular house in the comments on the form (although you’re not guaranteed to get it). They recommended looking at this: http://smithbysmithies.■■■■■■■■■■/houses
You can pick your roommate or you can fill out a survey to have ResLife match you to someone.
