All female dorms?

It shouldn’t be hard to get in, but I am also not sure if it is guaranteed. Barbour and Newberry are victims of unfortunate (and false) rumors that there are male visitation hours and that the girls there are stuffily conservative, neither of which are remotely true-- as such there tends to be a LOT of room for new freshmen in these dorms as people hear the rumors and shy away from these awesome housing options. I lived in Newberry and LOVED it, I wouldn’t live anywhere else on campus after having that experience. You couldn’t pay me to live in any of the other dorms.

The Adelia Cheever program is a living-learning community housed in Newberry, if that’s still on the applications as an option I suggest going for it to up your chances of getting on Central Campus. I’m not sure how they handle it now that the whole house is dedicated Cheever, it may not be catagorized the same as the other living-learning communities now, but worth looking into. But it’s just two meetings a month that you can go to or skip if you wish, and they have speakers and things come in to discuss issues relevant to women. It’s a lot of fun and can be a way to lock in a room at Newberry,
