<p>What kind of Housing they offer to freshman students. Like the names of the Housing buildings where freshman goes.
They be opening the Loft in Fall 2014 but I believe they not open to Freshman.</p>
<p>Tl;dr: yes, the Loop Lofts are for upper classmen. The freshmen will live on the South 40.</p>
<p>Here’s the map of the 40:
<a href=“Residential Life - Students”>Residential Life - Students;
<p>Typical Freshmen Dorms:</p>
<p>Lien, Koenig, Dardick, Park, Lee, Beau, Ruby, SoFoHo (can’t remember A or B… or Umrath?)
Sometimes Eliot. Sometimes one of the Dauten/Rutlege/Shandley buildings when the freshman class is way bigger than expected.</p>
<p>The Sophomore dorms are the “sisters” of the above dorms (ie Gregg is Lien’s sister - they’re in the same res college). And the Dauten/Rutlege/Shandley triplet - whatever name they’re using for that rescollege now.</p>
<p>I was a freshman back in 2008 (I’m so old I remember when Wohl/ the “real” BD was a thing). Which is why I’m wishy washy on the newest SoFoHo/Umrath clarifications. You kids need to get off my lawn.</p>
<p>^^ Do they offer any particular dorms to Honor Students like other schools do. </p>
<p>Umrath is for freshmen, so are Danforth and Eliot A. SoFoHo is for sophomores. Everything else you said is accurate, though–at least it was when I was still living on the 40.</p>
<p>When we visit WUSTL in 2013 summer the Tour guide took us to a Dorm, across the Soccer field, under the road with Graffiti and it looks to us a decent Dorm, 2 beds in 1 room and 2 beds in another connected room . Not sure what was the name (may be LIEN) or was it on the 40. I think police station was on the back side of this dorm…</p>
<p>I can’t believe I forgot Danforth… whoops.</p>
<p>dadfor2014 - Lien is indeed the dorm they take all tours into. I was always entertained when a tour guide (that I did not know) would pull me aside and ask if they could use my room because they don’t plan that out in advance.
Also, WashU does not have honors students. Certain scholars go into certain dorms (ie Danforth scholars are laced in Danforth, but there are non Danforths in that dorm too), but scholars are not honors students.</p>
<p>@Johnson181 Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Are their any links to the floor plans for these Dorms. Plus how student are placed in which rooms, do they choose themselves or WUSTL assign them rooms, I mean their has to be some Chemistry between the roommates otherwise one Academic Student might end up with one Party Student… Do WUSTL look at each Stats and interest when placing these freshman students. </p>
<p>If you go to reslife.wustl.edu and find some of the res college websites, you can often find floor plans.</p>
<p>Each student fills out a housing survey indicating things like do you smoke, how much quiet do you need, what time do you usually go to bed, etc. They try their best to pair up roommates based on the responses to those questions, but that’s it. It’s a very shallow process. Who you end up with as a roommate freshman year is pretty much a crap shoot, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.</p>
<p>^^ Thanks @RaVNzCRoFT for the info.</p>
