UCSD Housing and Bikes

<p>So I've decided on going to UCSD and now my concern is the housing. I DO NOT want a triple. So on my preference should I put single first then the apartments second to insure I do not get placed in a triple? I would like to live in the res halls with the rest of the freshmen but if I put single will they place me in a triple just so I get placed in the res halls?
Or should I put apartment as my first choice?</p>

<p>Also, what kind of bike would you recommend? A 10-speed or a beach cruiser? When I visited I didn't see many beach cruisers, is there a specific reason for that?</p>
