Housing Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University
1

<p>I'm a junior, and I'm going to be applying at Yale and Princeton this fall.</p>

<p>I just took the tours for both schools last week, and I still have a question about housing at both places.</p>

<p>I know that both schools feature residential colleges that are randomly assigned to incoming freshman. My question is this: If I have a friend entering the same school with me, can we choose to be roomates? Is there any way to ensure that we could live together at either place, or is housing completely random for freshman? What about upper-classmen? If we are sorted into different colleges as freshman, can we still live on campus but together?</p>

<p>I suppose that was multiple questions, but they're all related.</p>

<p>I would greatly appreciate any help in making the housing situations more clear. Thanks!</p>

<p>Im still a prefrosh but of what i know, no you cant. You randomly are assigned a college than you are matched up with someone of similar traits (cleanliness and sleeping habits and such)</p>

<p>after freshman year i believe you can choose</p>

<p>Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Question, though: If you can choose after freshman year, then how does that work if your friends live in another college? Can you then only live with friends from the same residential college (although I know that upper-classmen suites allow you to avoid this, right?), but what about sophomores then?</p>

<p>well your closest freinds are probably all same college, i mean you see them everyday and live with them. but i dont know really, time for a real Pton student go answer</p>

<p>For the first two years you have to live in your residential college… freshman year you are assigned a roommate(s) and a room, sophomore year you get to choose your roommates and room from within your college. After that, you can live with anyone you’d like (assuming that they are the same sex as you). You can draw in groups of up to 8 (or 12 in wilson)</p>

<p>^^ alright so i know the colleges are co-ed but is each floor all male or all female or is it co-ed floors too</p>

<p>My floor is co-ed, I think most floors are, but, I’m not positive.</p>

<p>There are several single sex entry ways on campus, but other than that all floors are co-ed (although if you had a large enough group you could make a floor single sex if you so desired, i suppose)</p>
