<p>Today is the day everyone should be getting the results of the housing lottery! I'm interested in how many 09s get their top choice.</p>
<p>im sooo~ excited!! 5PM EST, only 3 hours to go!!</p>
<p>I hope I get one of my top 3...</p>
<p>Question: we sort of decide our roomates later on right?</p>
<p>Almost everybody gets one of their top three (and I'm glad that you are diverse enough to expect to be comfortable in as many as three dorms - that's actually quite rare). You'll you assigned a roommate/roommates right away (unless you get temp'ed in a single like I was). A lot of times people just stick it out with whoever they get temp'ed with, but your dorm should have a separate in-dorm rush and room lottery.</p>

FWIW, insider reports say that all of you got something in your top 3 choices, and the large majority in your top 2.

<p>..."you" being class of '09 :)</p>
<p>so, the room you're assigned is the room you'll be in during orientation?</p>
<p>I just got my rooming assingment and I was wondering if it tells you online who your roommate is. Another MIT '09er and I requested to be roommates, but nothing on my rooming assingment confirms that I'm in a double and the room I was assigned to is refered as a single on the Dorm website's floorplan. I do know that they sometimes crowd singles into doubles, so I was wondering if there was anyway I could find out if I'm in a double or single short of just contacting the person I chose to room with?</p>
<p>ETA: Never mind...I guess I just can't read, ;). I was actually placed in a double (in the Annex at McCormick, yay!!).</p>
<p>:) I got my first choice: McCormick
Sorry, am excited so I wanted to share:). Stupid question, but that also means I'm in RBA right?</p>
<p>I got my first choice as well! McCormick!</p>
<p>i got my first! baker!!...it doesnt say anything about a roomate on mine either, and i submitted it with a roomate.</p>
<p>Portlander and sidssana, I'm confused...how do we find out our rooms?</p>
<p>janeeyre: When you enter the housing lottery website, it not only tells you what dorm you are placed in, but also what room. The McCormick website has a floorplan (located here: <a href="http://web.mit.edu/mccormick/www/facilities/where_to_find_stuff.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://web.mit.edu/mccormick/www/facilities/where_to_find_stuff.pdf</a>) where you can check out where your room is.</p>
<p>I just read the notice from the RACs and found out they turned all the doubles into triples this year. :(</p>
<p>jane~ i hope this helps...</p>
<p>check page 5. it's a floor plan of the east and west towers.</p>
<p>Thanks! Man I really can't read. Hm...I think I'm in a "coffin"...or maybe I'm still totally confused.</p>
<p>im in a coffin too. what floor are you on?</p>
<p>731 </p>
<p>Wonder how big the coffins are. I think I got a single b/c the letter I wrote to the dorm housing people was very eccentric...scared them haha.</p>
<p>im on the second floor. </p>
<p>i requested a single in hopes to get a suite, and i did! im looking for pics of the coffin, but no luck yet.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to find information about the rooms in simmons (i.e. floorplans)?</p>
<p>hope that helps!</p>
<p>I had already checked that...but thanks anyway. I was looking for something that could show me where my room is.</p>
