<p>Does anyone know when we should be getting housing forms and be able to choose our dorms? Anything related to this would be useful.</p>
<p>They say it will be available late May online…</p>
<p>does anyone know if it’s “first come first serve” or if you just have to have the forms in by a certain deadline?</p>
<p>It is not first-come first served. You rank your choices (1-5, I believe) and then cross your fingers that you actually get one of your choices. Some don’t.</p>
<p>Do you know if you specifically rank the difference between singles and doubles as part of your 1-5 choice. For example, do you say</p>
<p>Dorm A SIngle
Dorm B single
Dorm A Double
Dorm B double </p>
<p>or do you just rank the dorm in general?</p>
<p>You rank dorms in general. Most dorms have VERY few singles and I don’t think they give them to freshmen. I know you can’t request the all-singles dorm (Foster-Walker) but I’m not sure if it’s possible to end up in a single elsewhere. If it is you list your general preference for a single or a double in one spot on the form but not for each dorm.</p>
<p>When I visited, a student said there was a “checkmark” for singles and for triples–she was the only freshman that I or anyone else on campus knew who got a single.</p>
<p>When I was at Wildcat days - they basically said “No freshman would be getting singles”. I guess you could always try, but it is a huge long shot.</p>
