| If you want to live on the light side, then make yourself appear as social, athletic, and accommodating as possible on the housing questionnaire (i.e. Say you don't need a lot of privacy, you don't mind having lots of people in your room, you don't do work in your room, etc.). Making yourself appear as social as possible, while certainly not a guarantee, is about all your can do to influence what dorm you're put in (especially considering all the quads are on the light side, while freshman housing on the dark side is all doubles.
As a current student, South is hands down the best freshman dorm. I lived in a Dunham quad my freshman year, and while I loved the overall experience, Dunham is dirty, smelly, and quads are pretty small. South quads have their own bathroom and are HUGE compared to Dunham's--freshman that live in a South quad will probably not having housing that nice again until their senior year. |
