<p>If I am in the honors dorms and they gave me the option between a single and a double, does anyone know the chances that I will get a single if I requested it?</p>
<p>My guess is pretty decent since the year my D was freshman there were people who got them that didn’t request them. You are still in a suite, just sharing bath with another single room…but is more expensive than double. The honors dorm floorplan is a little funky in that the sizes of rooms varies a lot for a new built-from-scratch dorm (IMO) but some of double rooms are very large.</p>
<p>My D is freshman this yr and she and her (requested) roommate got singles. When they first got assignment they were upset , but they have really enjoyed it!!</p>
<p>This year it doesn’t look like you can select specific dorms so if you’re accepted into honors and choose the honors living learning community, how likely will you get it? Or how unlikely? My daughter only wants the honors dorm but she had to choose several learning communities in order of preference so I hope they honor (no pun intended) her first choice since she’s in the honors program. </p>
<p>If you’re in honors you’ll get in honors dorm IMO. However, be sure you choose an honors roommate (I do know two girls last year where only one was honors and they got in honors as roommates, but I don’t think I’d count on that). I guess it is possible that more honors students decide to go to USC than they’ve saved rooms for and throw off numbers, but not likely. It can’t hurt to call honors and ask…they kind of control their housing or talk to housing.</p>
<p>edit: Just remembered that last year housing they must have had some overflow because some honors freshmen ended up on Horseshoe which is still honors housing - just usually upperclassmen. Again, not a likely outcome.</p>
<p>You’re likely to get Honors, but I definitely know a few people who did not get put into Honors when they chose it as HC students. I lived in Maxcy my freshman year (which is not upperclassmen nor is it the horseshoe apartments) and there were a couple of Honors College kids who got put there even though they selected the Honors College as their first choice.</p>
<p>I’d say you have more than a 90% chance, but I have personally seen it happen where people weren’t put in Honors.</p>
<p>I’ll been accepted to Capstone but having a piano is important to me. Should I do Thornhill (music living/learning) Is there a piano there?</p>
<p>Thornwell. Look at the virtual tour or call. Or ask on housing twitter or FB page - questions seem to get answered pretty quickly.</p>
<p>They changed how they do housing preferences this year and it is confusing for sure. I’ve had it explained to me twice and still have no idea how you get the housing choice you want, or how you even should rank things to TRY and get it. They’re trying to do things by these living and learning communities but what’s happening is everyone just applies for the L&L community that resides in the house they want to live in, which pretty much defeats the purpose. At admitted students weekend everyone was talking about how they were trying to apply for whichever L&L community fit their housing choice rather than their interests.</p>
<p>I’m confused!!! So my son is an accepted engineering student as well as a Capstone scholar. That said he would like to be in Capstone. He has applied for Capstone as his first first choice and engineering as his 2nd choice. The other three choices really do not matter. So, where is he going to stay? </p>
<p>Most likely in Capstone. I’m not sure all Capstone scholars stay there, facts on dorm say 579 residents and capstone page says 2012/13 class was 608 so obviously not room for 100% but also have to consider local students who might commute and those who choose to apply to other housing if their roommate of choice is not capstone.</p>
<p>Good stuff…thank you!</p>
