<p>Hey guys, I just wanted to know how long it takes for it detriple freshman. I do not want to stay tripled for a whole semester or in the worst case, for the whole year. Is it usually early? Another question: I remember when I took a tour, the tour guide told us that we can sign a sheet to detriple us, so it is basically a first come first serve. Is this true? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I have never heard of a list like that. I know people that were detripled within the first few weeks, and mostly everyone had a detripling offer like a week after winter break was over.</p>
<p>It’s definitely not any kind of first-come, first-served. You probably misunderstood the guide; there is a list for the detripling order but as far as I know it’s random. Some people show up and there’s no third person, some people get detripled a couple of weeks into the semester, some people have to wait until 2nd semester. It varies, and there’s not really anything you can do about it.</p>
<p>I agree with Pseudonym. They typically de-triple within the same building and/or quad. I was never detripled. Spent a whole yr tripled. It depends where you live also. So don’t count on detripling. The list is at random.</p>
