<p>I think second floor is sub-free. I don’t mind though hahah.</p>
<p>alphast0rm, if you are not able to switch out, I wouldn’t be too worried about it. I have heard multiple times that people who are drinkers or whatever love living on sub-free. There is no doubt they can have some quiet when they need, and I hear a significant percentage of sub-free people drink elsewhere and come backto their rooms afterward to sleep. Just as long as they are not falling down in the hallways and obvious about it, I hear very few people actually care.</p>
<p>i was assigned a traditional single…anyone in the same boat know how big (or small i should probably say) those are?</p>
<p>Which house? Er… dorm hahah. But it’s cool that you’re in a single. Most of the dorm reviews I’ve read seem to say that there’s a good amount of space no matter what kind of dorm you have.</p>
<p>umrath 2nd floor :D</p>
<p>bklyn - my D has a friend who had a traditional single on the first floor of Beaumont - she said she would have LOVED to have had that room. It had sort of vaulted ceilings and was like a tiny house!</p>
<p>An old chart I have says that traditional singles are 8.5’ by 11’(vs 11.5’ by 14’ for traditional doubles). I think the single I mentioned above was an old RA room or something.</p>
<p>newprov29: My main concern was not being able to come back to my room, but if I’m able to just come back and go to sleep without any problems that would be fantastic :)</p>
<p>Not sure if this question has been asked already, but are there any negative consequences to a delayed assignment?</p>
<p>WashU tries to make it sound a bit more pleasant, but it still sounds ominous nevertheless.</p>
<p>^ Delayed assignment? No negative consequences I know of.</p>
<p>I have a friend who didn’t find out who her roommate was until either the end of July or the beginning of August. Nothing bad that I know of.</p>
<p>Ah, more of the fifth or sixth choice in dorms is what I’m worried about. Haha.</p>
<p>lee first floor!</p>
<p>alphast0rm: No worries about living on a sub-free floor. I lived on one my freshman year and at least a third of my floor would go out on weekends. The deal is you can’t have the huge floor parties on a sub-free floor but it’s easy to drink elsewhere in the building and on campus.
If you are really trashed, you can always crash at a friend’s dorm.
RAs know that you are a college student and stuff happens. The deal with our floor was that so long as you go back to your room without disturbing everyone else, it’s all good. If you puked, you cleaned it up. The rest was cest la vie. I mean people were playing beer pong with the door closed before WILD. We also had one of the chillest RAs but sub-free kids are just like any other kid.
99% of students love their freshman floors regardless of being sub-free or not.</p>
<p>A lottery system is used with sophomores and up to determine who lives on the South 40, who lives in the Village and who doesn’t get ResLife housing. </p>
<p>With incoming freshmen, everyone has an equal chance except for students with special documented medical needs. </p>
<p>If you requested to live with someone and they had different preferences then you, that could cause a problem as ResLife prioritizes keeping requested roommates together. Historically, more people request modern over traditional. I lived in a traditional subfree floor my freshman year and loved my experience.</p>
