-Students with completed contracts who applied for housing on or before November 30, 2014 will be able to select their own building and room type through online building selection.
-All other students, with completed contracts with the same academic terms, can be pulled in as part of a roommate group or will be assigned by a housing staff member.
-Students who choose not to participate in online building selection will also be assigned by our staff.

Above is a snippet from the UF website. Does that mean if I completed my housing application in December, I won’t get to choose my room? Will the housing staff choose my room? I already have a few other people I want to room with, but I was the earliest.

Housing preferences are based on getting contracts in early so a dorm you selected may have already filled up.
You select dorm and room type (single, suite style etc) as preferences. The actual room is assigned by housing.
