<p>I heard a rumor that incoming students of the class of 2014 do not get to choose a preference of whether they want to stay in Newton or Upper campus this year. Can anyone clarify that?</p>
<p>Why don’t you call them tomorrow and have them tell you yourself? (then tell us) :)</p>
<p>I think that’s what I also heard my tour guide say when I went on the residential tour. She said we could choose our roommates through the Agora portal but that the location will be completely random.</p>
<p>I hope I heard wrong because I would rather to choose :)</p>
<p>Yes that is a change this year – I saw it in writing from a First Year Dean. You will not be able to request Newton or Upper.</p>
<p>That is kinda lame. I was actually going to request Newton I think. I like grassy areas :)</p>
<p>awww I heard that it was because too many people were requesting Upper, which is a shame because I wanted to go to Newton :</p>
