<p>I'm an incoming freshman at Warren College. I turned in my housing application kinda late(mid-April) and I signed up for a Single room in the residence halls. </p>
<p>I was searching through the forum and one member stated that the housing application date only determines our choice of residence hall or apartment and that the room occupancy choice(single/double/triple) is based on a lottery system. Does anyone know if this is still true(I noticed that the post was from 2007)?</p>
<p>I am not sure as to the specifics from Warren but from what I understand, the lottery system is for returning students, not for incoming freshman. </p>
<p>The housing is assigned to us according to the order that our housing application was turned in. Yes, even the room occupancy. They stressed this at the Muir Orientation that when you turned in the form was the only factor outside of disability that would net you one of the rare singles or doubles. </p>
<p>I am pretty sure most colleges are having occupancy issues so expect a triple if you turned it in late. Once again, this is all from a Muir college person so perhaps Warren does it differently.</p>
<p>Actually, I just found the answer on the Warren website. :)</p>
<p>Q: How are single rooms assigned?</p>
<p>A: Single rooms are only available in our freshmen Residence Halls (Frankfurter, Harlan, and Stewart). After receiving your contract, Housing Administration will refer you to a website where you can enter your living preferences. Here you can indicate whether you would prefer to live in a single room. The computer system will randomly choose those students who will receive singles. Unfortunately, the demand for singles far exceeds the number of single rooms available so not all students who request a single room will be assigned to one. There are no singles available in the apartments (Black, Brennan, Douglas, and Goldberg). </p>
<p>Hopefully, it still holds true! haha</p>
<p>I'm in Warren as well and when I went to admit day there was a booth about housing. I asked how they determined who gets a single and what-not and the lady told me that it depends on when you turned in your housing application. I think I turned mines in late March (25th? or something) and I saw the paper of when people in Warren turned in their housing applications and I was actually pretty late in turning it in. I saw a lot of people turn it in the day acceptance/rejection notices were out.</p>
