<p>Or do they simply take everyone's on May 1 and randomly assign you a room?
I think I want a single room.</p>
<p>Transfers and Freshmans are guarantee on campus housing.</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing. Is housing for freshmen a lottery or the first come first serve? If its first come first serve, I may be screwed over for housing haha.</p>
<p>As long as you get it in by may 1, everyone has equal chance for housing. all freshman are guaranteed housing. dorms are randomly assigned anyway unless you request a program house, balch(all girls), or a townhouse. they don’t look at them until after may 1.</p>
<p>to add to hhmmm, even though there is no first come first serve basis before may 1, they are really strict about the deadline. even though freshmen are guaranteed housing, if you submit your application after may 1 it is hard to get your first choice of rooms (i.e. single, double, program houses) and the housing department usually puts you where there is room. just get your housing application in before you forget to do it</p>
