[General FAQs for Residence Life](http://www.villanova.edu/studentlife/reslife/faq/)

As I understand it , being tripled or being assigned other than south is in reverse order of deposits, meaning early deposit students have priority and late depositers or wait list acceptances have the highest chance of being tripled or housed away from south.
As for specific dorm request , applying to a learning community will get you into that specific dorm hosting that learning community.
From Villanova FAQ:
"How are new students assigned to residence halls?
Freshman residents may not request a specific building or type of room. In general, housing assignments are based on the date your admission deposit is processed. Other factors which guide your housing assignment may include: participation in a designated Learning Community, documented medical needs, and/or preferences specified in a questionnaire accompanying the housing contract.

I am sure that there are exceptions to these policies , but you would need to have an extenuating circumstance or some pull at the institution.
