<p>All six of my friends and myself that were hoping to live together in some sort of arrangement wound up with numbers over 1000. We wound up living on the top floor of Scobel.</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that at #50, everyone before her is going to pick a room. However, they will likely also pull in people with higher numbers. So by the time you get to numbers in the 500s+, you’ll likely only have every other number or so there.</p>
<p>Now it makes sense. They haven’t actually gotten numbers yet, but she was wondering so I’ll pass on the info.</p>
<p>What are the chances of a sophomore being accepted into the Henderson House/special interest/wellness program? </p>
<p>Also, is there really anything negative about random roommate assignments? I originally intended to live with a new person every year and I looked forward to meeting new people/living with someone I’ve not met before…but listening around, it sounds like people recommend against that. Other than the obvious risk of being placed with someone you’re not compatible with (but that’s what the “what kind of roommate are you, what kind of roommate are you seeking” questions are for, right?), what’s so bad about it?</p>
<p>Those roommate surveys are pretty much BS. People tend to exaggerate themselves to be more favorable roommates quite often. </p>
<p>That said, there’s nothing wrong with living with random people. I have friends who have really enjoyed doing it. 
Personally, I’ve learned that no matter who you’re living with, if they respect your boundaries (don’t take from my fridge without asking, and for the love of god if you want to have sex in the room wake me up first so I can evacuate) and are reasonably clean (flush the toilet after you’re done with it, please) you can probably get along with them just fine.</p>
<p>The chances of being accepted into Henderson are pretty good. Better if you actually seem committed to their substance-free program.</p>
<p>I think the reason you want to live with random roommates less and less as the years go on is the random roommate pool shrinks. Essentially you have to types of people, people that want to try living with someone new every year (very small percent, I image) and people that have no friends that wanted to live with them (much larger percentage).</p>
<p>Personally, I didn’t know anyone after freshman year that was going with random.</p>
