here’s the deal, if you request a res hall double you’ll MOST LIKELY get it. BUT it will probably be in either hedrick or rieber which are comprised mostly of freshmen. this is because they are further away from class than sproul, so most freshmen get put in doubles there since the second-years choose sproul or suites.

rieber is at most a 1-2 minute extra walk, and hedrick probably a ~5 minute extra walk. it doesn’t make that much of a difference and the social atmosphere in hedrick and rieber are much better than all other dorms/suites (except dykstra). so it isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

however it IS possible to get sproul double as a freshman., but you’ll most likely have to appeal your original assignment. there are two rooms on my floor that are like that. for one of them the orginal assignment was dykstra triple, and the girl appealed and got sproul double. the kids in the other room were originally assigned to a sproul triple, but they appealed and got a double.
