| NMR, I think that Susan is correct about this. Unless something has changed (and that is entirely possible), the housing office will accomodate requests for two freshmen to be roomed together, but they will not accept requests for four. I know that when my D was a sophomore, the sibling of a friend of hers got into NYU, as did three of his friends. They requested to be placed together in an apt. style and were told that it wasn't possible for this request to be considered. They each could choose one other roomie, but that was it. In any case, two kids requesting each other as roomies are fairly certain to get it, however, this will have little, if any, effect on what dorm they get, on their list of priorities. Unless, of course, one of them is an E.D. kid, and in that case, they probably will get their first choice. As Susan said, it's best to give the housing office and call and get a definitive answer, though, if your D has three friends she wants to room with in the fall. |
