<p>We had stress with D12 choosing a suite for this year ( sophomore year). They wanted a 3 room suite ( 6 girls) and each had a lottery number. The problem was that you could not save a spot for your suite mates. If you were # 50 and you got the suite, random kids can get in with lower lottery numbers than the kids you want to dorm with. This created a situation whereby my D was in a suite with strangers who wanted to dorm together and needed a random person to complete the suite ( that random person being my D). After several weeks of this nonsense they finally managed to get a suite to accommodate their group. </p>
