<p>I'm a current freshman and wondering how the housing selection process happens after freshman year. I've heard that you can choose your suitemates or friends to live on your hall if you choose to live in a hall style. Do you get to choose your specific room or is it a lottery? Also, how hard is it to get a single on north campus? Someone told me that the only place I would be able to get a single would be in Craige.</p>
<p>You can choose everything from the roommates to the very room, but you have to be fast! You register with housing ahead of time, and they’ll give you an assigned time of when you can access the housing system to pick your room. You can then ‘pull in’ roommates. You’ve gotta have luck and fast fingers to get the exact room you want, but usually, you can get into a community of your choice.</p>
<p>It goes by seniority, so you’ll have what’s left after the juniors and sophomores pick. Getting a single on north campus will be extremely tough, but you can always look and see what’s still free the night before your pick. Mid campus might be a good option, or you could apply to be an RA (obviously there are other strings attached and you might be placed in HJ, which is a gamble).</p>
<p>What about if you choose random? Can someone who wants the same room see that there’s a bed open and choose it? Or do they randomly assign people who go random?</p>
<p>I live on North Campus and you can pick the very roommate and the very room you want. Although the majority of freshman live on south campus and I know a few on north campus who are having trouble meeting people. </p>
<p>In the application you rank your top choices for housing. If you go random, you’ll get random. Only housing will know whats available.</p>
<p>It says on the housing website that you get to choose your housing based on your academic standing based on your credits. I currently have 44 credits after last semester making me a sophomore. Even though I am still a first-year, will I get to choose at the same time as sophomores with 30-45 credits?</p>
<p>Also, how does random work after freshman year since you get to choose your rooms? Is it just that someone random can see that there is a bed space open in the room you’ve chosen and chose to live there, or is there some type of randomized roommate process like for incoming freshmen?</p>
