Room Preferences?

I'm in the midst of completing my Housing Application. I've applied for the FreshEx program and have uploaded the essay and whatnot, but when I get to part 6- Room Preferences, I was "encouraged to list up to 6 non-program choices", and yet Harrison was not an option. I'm slightly confused because every other house is up there...

I thought that maybe it was because I applied for FreshEx, so they assumed Harrison was my first choice and wanted me to list 6 other houses, so I went back and changed the program to a random one in Hill just to see if Harrison would pop up as an option later, but when I got back to part 6, again, Harrison wasn't there but everything else was.

Could someone please explain why this is so? And any help asap would be appreciated. The app is due tomorrow. I apologize if this sounds confusing. I'm slightly frazzled.

Harrison, as a college house, is NOT an option for freshmen. Only the FreshEx program WITHIN Harrison is available to freshmen. In other words, freshmen can live in FreshEx (obviously ), but they aren't eligible to live in any other part or residential program of Harrison. So for freshmen, it's either FreshEx, or it's no Harrison.

[I think I just said the same thing four different ways. ]
