@sbuadmissions Hi Chris Hope you can answer my questions.

I was wondering if there will still be tripling in the rooms this incoming fall 2017 now that Stony has opened up new dorms on campus. I saw that in the old threads as much as 70% of the freshman were initially tripled and that worries me…when they are detripled which dorms do they get detripled to?

Do most students get into their top 3 ranked choices of UGCs and is the chance of getting in to your UGC increase if you hand in your housing deposits early?

Do you know when the part 1 of the orientation dates will be this summer and the placement tests and when can we expect to hear when those dates are as well as what dorms the freshman will get into?

Thanks.

A lot of the people I knew got detripled. When they get detripled is usually after a couple months (I can’t give an exact answer as it varies quite a lot).There isn’t a specific dorm that they get detripled to. I’m not quite sure about the rest of your questions.

I don’t know how much tripling will happen this fall; we won’t know that until we get all the deposits in. If I had to guess, it’ll be in the 50% range.

Almost everyone gets one of their top two UGC choices; the small number (<5%) wind up with their third choice.

All of the Orientation specifics will be sent in mid-May with the UGC assignments; specific building assignments won’t happen until the end of July.

Good questions!

Chris
