<p>Can anyone explain how roommate preferences work for first years? If four girls want to stay together in a suite:</p>
<ol>
<li>Do they each have to match the building requests rankings 1-7?</li>
<li>How does each group of 2 request each other to get a room together?</li>
<li>Does the person with the highest lottery automatically pull in the other 3?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure how to do 4 suite mates, but, you can specify your room mate on the application. You will need your roommate’s PID. Both should specify each other and the best lottery pick draws in the other. Remember there are 4 and 6 person suites (based on the building). It probably makes sense to rank the 4 person suite buildings as your higher choices. You can call housing and ask about how to get 4 suite mates together. They are pretty helpful.</p>
