<p>I was just wondering if one is assigned a residential college or if one can choose where to go.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You're assigned. If you're a legacy, you can opt in or out of your parent's college, but that's it.</p>
<p>I think if your brother or sister was in a college, you can either choose to be in the same college, or choose to be randomly assigned to some other college.</p>
