<p>Hey guys - I just wrote a pretty important post on residence-based advising, if you're thinking about your housing options for next year. Please read it: <a href="http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/misc/miscellaneous/residencebased_advising_1.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/misc/miscellaneous/residencebased_advising_1.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The gist of it is: RESIDENCE-BASED ADVISING WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE DORMS YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR.</p>

<p>Let me know if you have any questions!</p>

<p>It took A LOT of maneuvering, and the fact that I didn't apply for RBA in the first place. But like it says on the website, "a first-year student in RBA may be permitted to request a housing change, but these exceptions are rarely made."</p>
