Spring admission housing

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in the past with being a new student for the spring semester and trying to get housing. My daughter went in the housing portal as a new student and did not get a room. As a freshman you are guaranteed housing. What is the process on January 14th when they place the students in housing? Are they put in forced triples?

There was an article about housing in the recent student newspaper called Pipedream on line.
