<p>Are any of the freshmen dorms significantly better than the rest? Which ones would you suggest for a double room? I feel like it would be a waste to not request something...</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Ranking:</p>
<p>1- Branscomb Quad - all doubles </p>
<p>2- Vanderbilt and Barnard Halls </p>
<p>3- Kissam Quad - all singles</p>
<p>Is there any difference between the houses within Branscomb? The descriptions say that Vaughn and Scales have half baths; are they harder to get into, more desirable?</p>
<p>Yes, they are harder to get and more desirable.</p>
<p>But all you get to choose is whether you want a double or a single, You don't get to rank your preference for a hall.</p>
<p>Maybe they changed that because the form I got in the mail says that housing requests will be accomodated in a random order to not give preference to ED kids.</p>
<p>everything said here is true. all you get to chose is a single or double. From experience, don't bother requesting roomates at all if you want a double, even if they seem like cool people. they can still be horrible. also, though kissam and the singles are a long way away, if you are outgoing, a single can be the best thing to happen to you.</p>
<p>I agree! I live in Kissam right now, and I love my single! The great thing is everyone there (about 600 of the freshmen!) are all in singles...so it's like having a whole floor of roommates.</p>
