<p>I just submitted my deposit today (April 21st). I realize that the later you do that, the less likely you are to be put on South campus. Do you guys think I submitted too late? I'd much rather be on South.</p>
<p>I think you are probably fine, but applying for a learning community might help. If you apply to one that is on South you will at least improve your chances. I assume you decided after Candidate’s Day today?</p>
<p>Yep. I’d prefer not to do a learning community though. But if you say I will be ok submitting now that’s good.</p>
<p>south is overrated</p>
<p>I will try to ask around and see when people put in deposits last year and where they are living now, but I am not even sure if the deposit time does affect where you get put.</p>
<p>Oh thanks i appreciate it. Another question: if i am put on south, will my building most likely be co-ed or all males? Because I know the freshman dorm buildings vary.</p>
<p>Ok, I’ll give you a rundown of the dorms on south:</p>
<p>Stanford - This is the biggest one. It is also where the athletes are, except for the basketball team. It is the oldest and probably the most beatup and the rooms are the smallest, but there are no forced triples and most people love it anyways because of the feel of the place. It is co-ed, but separated by wings. Some floors are co-ed(2nd and 3rd), but based on the tripod style building, your wing would be all males.</p>
<p>St. Monica’s and Katharine - These both have learning communities. I am not sure what percentage of the dorms are learning communities versus not, but I know a few of them are housed here. They are basically exact replicas of each other and both are co-ed by floor. </p>
<p>Caughlin - All girls dorm.</p>
<p>McGuire - This is the all male dorm. It is right next to Caughlin and usually they do things together. People that lived there said there are advantages and disadvantages to having an all males dorm. Usually people aren’t happy getting in there, but it doesn’t turn out that bad.</p>
<p>Good Counsel - This is probably the nicest dorm. All the rooms have a sink in them which is very convenient. However, Good Counsel also is the overflow for sophomores so the whole dorm is not freshmen. Considering the huge size of the current freshmen class, there might not be many freshmen at all in Good Counsel. It is co-ed by floor.</p>
<p>Thanks alot for the info.</p>
<p>Freshman residents may not request a specific building or type of room. In general, housing assignments are based on the date your admission deposit is processed. Other factors which guide your housing assignment may include: participation in a designated Learning Community, documented medical needs, and/or preferences specified in a questionnaire.</p>
<p>Stanford Housing is allocated first , rooms are small but there are no triples. 1/3 of the freshman class lives in Stanford.</p>

<p>Yeah I know that I was just wondering if I submitted my deposit too late. Thanks though.</p>
<p>Is submitting your deposit on the first too late to get into the freshman dorm?</p>
<p>You will get in a dorm, that is guaranteed. But most likely you will end up on Southwest Main Campus or end up with a single in St. Mary’s if you get really unlucky. Southwest Main is all freshmen dorms, it just is not the same feel as South, but many people actually like it better. Usually the dorms become closer there.</p>
<p>I heard they try to group engineering students together. Is that true?</p>
<p>My Freshman son lives in Katherine. He submitted his deposit mid April last year. He got a double. He told me that dorms that are single sex this year are supposed to be all coed next year. He is in college of engineering, his roommate went in as undecided. They are both involved in Music program and were able to move in a week before everyone else last yr which was really nice. They both signed up for Music Camp. Most of the other rooms in his hall are all triples. Lounges on floors became quads.</p>
<p>Two years ago my son submitted his deposit after April 24th and was assigned to McGuire on South. Of course the entire dorm was forced triples that year, but he had a great time on South.</p>
<p>They seem to try to group engineering students together somewhat. For example, a few wings in Stanford are one side engineering with the other side being everything else. So you will be around other students, but a lot of times you will be rooming with another engineer. That isn’t always the case though. I haven’t heard anything about the single sex dorms becoming coed and I kind of doubt that will happen, but it would be interesting if they did.</p>
