Hi Everyone,
How well does BU do with fulfilling your requests with the housing applications? For example, I really want to live in West but I also requested a specific roommate and already submitted my application to try and get it in early. What is the likelihood that I will be granted both location and roommate?
You will get your roommate as long as the request is mutual, though sometimes they’ve been known to put an additional person in with you (for example, if they put you in a triple it may be with your roommate plus someone else) but since it’s early and you want West, you’ll likely get what you want. No guarantees though. If you don’t get West you’ll probably get Warren, and honestly it’s not that bad. Also be sure your roommate ranked West first choice as well.
^also, though, just remember nothing is ever guaranteed. You have a very high chance of everything working out, but just be aware housing can sometimes just do what they want
Thanks guys!!
