<p>so uh.. i dont know much about how housing at Tufts works. is it a 'first come, first choice' basis? or is it all randomely assigned? and are there better dorm buildings than others? sorry if im asking a really blatantly obvious question, i just wasn't sure where to look first.</p>
<p>It's a lottery!</p>
<p>You could select several "preferences" freshman year, such as all-female housing, healthy living, METCALF, and all freshman dorms.</p>
<p>For sophomore, junior, and senior years, you are assigned a randomly generated lottery number. Higher numbers get to choose their dorms first.</p>
