<p>Someone told me that when kids are assigned housing at NYU (freshmen), the residential office usually tries to put kids in Tisch (or other schools) together in the same rooms/floors, etc. Is this true, or could a CAS English major end up rooming with a Tisch drama student, etc.??</p>
<p>That is not true. Anyone can end up in a room with anyone, they hardly even honor the roommate survey judging from my floor this year. However, there are a number of kids who are rooming with someone in their school, but from what I can tell, no where near the majority.</p>
<p>Some dorms appeal to kids in certain departments, which may explain the probability of getting placed in a suite with someone from your school.... e.g. I've come to find that 3rd North is made up of mostly Tischies, and a good chunk of them are film majors. Possible reasons - 3N has arts-related Explorations floors (fashion, film, etc), a nice big space downstairs with mirrors to practice dancing in, a Final Cut lab... lots of nice stuff.</p>
<p>But yeah, I highly doubt housing looks at your major to decide where you should room or who you should room with... it's all done randomly. I don't even think they care about the survey.</p>
