Rooming- CURRENT STUDENT PLS HELP

Hi-
I want to live in a traditional triple really badly, but I plan on doing random for roommates. Will this make it harder for me than the people who want traditional triples with set people?

Also–if I were to find a roommate, when do people start that process?

Just out of curiosity, what’s the advantage of a traditional triple other than lower cost than others?

I live in a traditional, and all the triples had random selection and most didn’t even choose it. If you choose it, you have a great chance of getting it.

lol most people dont want traditional triples
