| Housing Application
When do we apply?
I would like to live in East Wheelock. I read on the Dartmouth site that applications were due in April, but is this for freshmen as well?
Thanks. |

| Wohoo =) Thanks.
When I visited, EW was really nice. I didn't see other dorms, but I felt comfortable in EW and like the location next to the gym. Are there other dorms I should be considering? =) | |

| as an incoming student, you can only choose to apply to east wheelock or not to apply to east wheelock, and whether or not you have a preference for or against substance free housing.
if you are not accepted into the east wheelock program, you will be placed into another dorm ... either in the river, the choates, fahey-mclane, the mclaughlin cluster, or russel sage. | |

| I'm trying not to pull from stereotypes when I say this, but I just thought I should make it clear that there is perhaps more to it than "living in a nice building"....make sure you actually know what you're getting yourself into before you apply to live in East Wheelock. | |

| Yeah, I don't know everything about EW, but I do know it's more than simply dorms. From what I read and the experience I had while staying there, it was nice. One of the students I met said she asked not to be placed in the River and they did not place her there. | |

| Can you request a specific dorm (other than East Wheelock)? Does anybody know how likely it is that the housing people actually listen to your request? | |

| @ Dartmoose: people on CC have tried this and it has worked, though its obviously not guaranteed
does anyone know what buildings, if any, in McLaughlin cluster are substance free? as an addendum, does anyone know what dorms this year are going to be substance free? | |

| This year the only freshman sub-free housing was Judge in the River and Little in the Choates. | |

| Are all of the dorms non-smoking? Or do you have to live in a substance-fre dorm to be guanteed not to breathe smoke? | |
