<p>@ metaxa13 Freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to live off-campus unless they live with their parents. No exceptions.</p>
<p>Spring admission is based upon the fact that there are typically X students who do not return for the second semester of their freshman year. So those departures open up space in the dorms for spring admits.</p>
<p>Historically UR takes few to no students off the waitlist. In fact in the recent past, too many admitted students have enrolled leading to a shortage of dorm space. ( And resulted in doubles made into triples, or floor lounges turned into 5 person bunk rooms. School really wants to avoid that happening since it causes all sorts of headaches for everyone.)</p>
<p>The new dorm will ease some of the housing issues, but it’s also likely that UR will simply accept more students for fall admission to fill those beds.</p>
