<p>Does anyone know if the majority of freshman are places in open doubles or split doubles? The split room seems really cool, but I don't think there is a way to request one. </p>
<p>I see no one answered your question yet. I am just a parent of sophomore, not an expert at on-campus housing but here’s my observation. The rooms for freshman seem to be about 50/50 split vs. regular doubles (with a very few in quads or singles). My son got a split in BBB his freshman year and loved it. But many students don’t like the split since it is pretty cramped on “your” side and there are much fewer options to arrange your stuff. You are correct that freshmen don’t get to make requests for dorms or room type. Welcome to the 'cuse!</p>
