<p>When you request your housing preference, are you allowed to request the room capacity or do you just pick a building? I’m wondering if a student prefers a double if that’s what he’ll get or if the student picks the building, but Housing chooses what kind of room the student gets. </p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>if you choose anything on north campus as a freshman you’ll get put in a quad. the only way to get around that is if you have a friend that is a sophmore or above that wants to live with you, you can request each other and most likely you’ll end up in a double. Most of the rooms in South are doubles, but there are some singles that are usually reserved for non-freshmen. I’m not really that familiar with Morrill or Lincoln, but I’m pretty sure that freshmen live in quads or triples there as well.</p>
<p>So, just to clarify, when you say quad do you mean a suite style quad with its own bathroom? Or is it a quad with public floor bathrooms?</p>
<p>kjmyers215- It depends on the layout of the dorms, although off the top of my head I’m not aware of any dorms that have quads with a corridor bath. Then again, they apparently exist ([University</a> Housing : Current/Admitted : Policies, Contracts, and Fees : Housing Fees and Due Dates](<a href=“http://housing.osu.edu/current_policies_fees.asp]University”>http://housing.osu.edu/current_policies_fees.asp)) on South. I’ve never ever met anyone in this arrangement though.</p>
<p>North freshmen almost always get quads with a private bathroom. West (Lincoln, Morrill) freshmen tend to (majority) get quads, but there are a number of freshmen who got doubles. South is smaller rooms in general, usually in doubles.</p>
