Residential Program?

Hey guys,
I’ve been pretty interested in a residential program (namely, RIE), and I was wondering whether it’d be easier to get into the Quad if I applied to this residential program. If it’s notably competitive, am I just better off applying to the quad without applying to a residential program? Also, is it easier to get into the quad as a single or a double?

Thanks!

I am currently a freshman living in the Quad right now, and I can tell you that the Quad isn’s as popular nowadays with the growing problems, such as mice, mold, etc. Some residential programs have actual commitments tied to them over the course of the year, so if you are not really interested in it, don’t do it!
