<p>Hey, I just got into UVA, and had some questions about the dorm room situation. So I heard the gist of "old dorm" and "new dorm." Which dorms are considered as "old" and "new?" and can we choose our roommates? thanks-</p>
<p>If you request a person to be your roommate and that person requests you back you will be rooming together. If only one person requests the other person, it's not going to happen.</p>

Mccormick are "old" dorms: hall style</p>
