<p>thelogicalchoice,</p>
<p>Just in case you have yet to answer your own question, you can request residence halls other than the “first-year houses”. Conway House and PT Farinon House are entirely reserved for about 30 first-year students each. Keefe Hall is NOT an entirely first-year residence hall; rather, only about 16 of the 117 spots are reserved for freshmen. Kamine Hall, one of our four new residence halls, is reserved for 90 first-years.</p>
<p>I am sure you are gathering your information partly from this webpage on the Lafayette website (<a href=“http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reslife/residence_halls_grid.php)%5B/url%5D”>http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reslife/residence_halls_grid.php)</a>, but some of this information is misleading and some numbers are inaccurate/missing. I will try to convince someone in admissions to work toward publishing some kind of booklet for accepted students to help them make their residence hall choice slightly easier. As it is right now, incoming students such as yourself (did you decide on Lafayette over Washington College?) have few resources for housing information.</p>
