<p>How does the housing lottery system work? Does it try to get you into your first choice House, and THEN try to get you your room type (hence, whether you pick a quad, double, etc. won’t affect your chances of getting into the house)? Or does it take house and room type into account?</p>
<p>I believe it takes the house and room type into account. For my first choice, I applied for the Freshman Experience in Harrison (I picked the 2BR double). What I didn't like and wasn't sure about was that if you picked a res. program, they didn't give you an option of picking the college house again w/ a different room layout. </p>
<p>If you don't get your roomtype in the res. program, will they try to house you in another roomtype (in the same program), regardless of your other housing options?</p>
<p>They wouldn't let me pick another Harrison, but they allowed me to pick Harnwell again (in addition to East Asia Res. Prog.)</p>
<p>If we want Stouffer-Mayer, how do choose it on the app? there's only stouffer in general...and also the question above ^^</p>
<p>bumppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>House and room type. The only exception may be for the residential programs where if you get the program but not the room type, they'll give you another room type. That's why ppl put multiple choices on their lists, for example 1. Hill single 2. Hill double</p>
<p>I think the only way to put a preference for Stouffer-Mayer is to write it in the comments box.</p>
<p>then for the residential programs, you can put whatever room you want and hope for the best without decreasing your chance of getting into that house?</p>
<p>and the mayer house question ^^?</p>

<p>im curious about this too, if you get rejected from a housing program does that put you in the pool for people who selected that house regularly, or does it move onto your 2nd choice?</p>
<p>I think it puts you in the same group as the people who picked that house regularly. You can call housing to ask, but that's what I've heard.</p>
