| May sound logical but I am not sure it has any effect on getting the dorm you want. In the apartment style dorms, there are usually two bedrooms in an apartment with two kids in each. If you apply with a roomie, they just put those two in ONE room and two others in the other room....I don't think there is much of a match up of who is in the entire apartment unit. Perhaps there is some effort in matching roomies IN THE SAME BEDROOM on some very very basic criteria on a form (sleeping, cleanliness habits, for example) but I do not think that they do that for all who share the apartment. I don't know but my assumption is that going in as four for freshman is not an advantage in getting a first choice dorm. I don't even thinking going in as two roomies for one bedroom in an apartment or suite is an advantage in getting a first choice freshman dorm at NYU. I just do not believe it works that way there. You could call housing and ask. |
