<p>Are you allowed to pick which one you get? What exactly is a suite? Do people who have triples and doubles therefore share bathroom and lounge with the whole floor (how many rooms/people are usually on a floor)? Thanks.</p>
<p>It completely depends on the school and the building but most reslife offices will send you a questionnaire so that you can voice your preferences.</p>
<p>Do they send it to you after you have been accepted, or do you need to ask them for one?</p>
<p>They send it to you after you are accepted and decide to matriculate.</p>
<p>In some cases, you will simply be assigned to a suite, which may contain a variety of rooms, and it is up to you and your suitemates to work it out to see who lives in which room/what you want to put in the common room. I think most suites have common room, a bathroom, and sometimes a kitchen.</p>
<p>Other times you will be assigned to a specific room, which may be part of a suite.</p>
<p>Is it more expensive to live in any of these?</p>
<p>Also, sorry to sound like an idiot, but are these dorms/floors commonly coed? Would you room with someone of the opposite sex?</p>
<p>Dorms and Floors are normally co-ed, but you can also ask to be put on a single sex floor if you prefer. You will never be put with a roommate/suitemate of the opposite sex, with the possible exception of a couple schools where they'll allow you to request it.</p>
<p>Pricing definitely depends on the school- at my school, we're charged the same price for housing all 4 years, but we're automatically given singles junior and senior year, and doubles first and sophomore year. At some schools, if you request a single, it will be more expensive.</p>
<p>It depends on the school, again. Some schools will have single sex by floor, or by entryway, or by wing, or even single sex dorms altogether.
Some other schools have coed floors and even coed bathrooms.</p>
