<p>in terms of dorms, you don’t necessarily get to choose your dorm. you can choose whether or not you want to live in one of the all freshman dorms, traditional housing, co-ops, or program housing. For the co-ops, you can rank your co-ops in preference of where you want to eat and/or live. For program housing, you apply to a particular program house. Otherwise, you won’t be able to choose what dorm you live in as a first-year student.</p>
