<p>If you receive a letter offering a lower price for going into a 2 student room with 3 students or a one student room with 2, don't do it. My daughter regretted it because she couldn't move after every one unpacked and moved in.</p>
<p>I didn't even know they did that but OH MAN that would suck so bad to have three people in a double. I got a double this year and my roommate has since moved out so I have a double to myself. The thought of having TWO more people in here with all their stuff is just insane and I can't even imagine it.</p>
<p>Yeah that happened this year, cause they over-enrolled a bit. The rooms in the new residence hall, Barton, are a little larger than in the older halls, so some of them were "tripled up". </p>
<p>By the way, I also have a double all to myself now. Its very nice!!</p>
<p>Seems like they decided to start building another new residence hall, this time for upperclassman only, and down at the bottom of the hill (kindof a weird / bad location) : RPI:</a> News & Events - Rensselaer Launches Residence Hall Project in Downtown Troy</p>
<p>Hm.. I'm going to be a freshman next year, but I haven't gotten a residence form yet, and I applied EDI. When are the applications typically sent out?</p>
<p>If I remember there not mailed out till early summer...</p>
<p>There were some things that came in April and some in June.</p>
<p>The triples in Barton aren't that bad. There is plenty of room and each student has a desk, wardrobe, dresser and bed. My daughter is in one this year and doesn't mind it at all.</p>
