Where are the z-rooms?

Hey guys,

I’m looking to join a freshman RAP, partially because I want to choose where I live on campus. I would prefer to live in a z-room, so my question is this: which low-rise freshman halls in Southwest have z-rooms? Is there a mix of z-rooms and rectangular rooms so I would be gambling anyway?

Thanks!

If you have not done the research yourself, I don’t think Z rooms are offered in any low rise in Southwest. I think they’re just a high rise deal. Don’t take my word for it though.

There are definitely z-rooms in the SW low rises. My son was in Thoreau freshman year, all z-rooms. I think others in SW have them also.

@cefrino did you end up joining a RAP in order to get a Z room? I have the same question.

My daughter is in a RAP in SW (not a low rise) and there are 4ish non Z rooms on her floor, the rest are Z rooms. Some of the Z rooms ended up being forced triples.
