girl10,
Let's take a look at the situation. South College has about 110 spaces reserved for incoming students (55 doubles), which is a significant amount. However, as you may already know, South is consistently one of the most popular places to live on campus.
Why, you ask?
Well, the doubles, on average, are much larger than in our other residence halls. The building was last renovated back in 2002, so it is in rather good condition. Each room has wall-to-wall carpeting and A/C. Also, many students like the social atmosphere in South...with so many residents, something is always going on in there!
So, yes, it is an "especially preferred" residence hall. Does that mean you have absolutely no chance of being assigned there because you sent in your deposit just recently? Not at all! In the end, the Office of Residence Life has the ultimate power to place incoming students wherever they want based on their own priorities.
If I were you, however, I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Don't let my prediction dampen your mood...Easton, Ruef, or McKeen (just to name a few) would serve you equally as well. Wherever you are assigned, just be sure to get to know the other people on your floor.
I can also promise you that, wherever you end up, you'll consider it "home" in no time.
All the best,
- Justin
