<p>Fellow CCers:</p>
<p>FYI, the room preference questionnaire has changed slightly since I used it myself to choose first-year housing. It does not ask for the ranking of specific buildings anymore. So if you wanted a certain building, you’d have to do a little research via this webpage: <a href=“http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reslife/residence_halls_grid.php[/url]”>http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reslife/residence_halls_grid.php</a> before filling it out.</p>
<p>The front side of the questionnaire now asks for the individual to mark certain criteria for housing. For instance, size of the building provides three options (small = less than 60 residents, medium = 50-100 residents, large = over 100 residents). BTW, I just made up those numbers because I do not have the questionnaire in front of me.</p>
<p>Another question asks about gender preference (co-ed by room, wing, floor, entire building).</p>
<p>So, if you wanted to live in Ruef Hall, you’d have to do enough research so that your indications narrow down the options and leave only Ruef as a viable option. Of course, this does not guarantee there is still space in Ruef, but it at least accurately reflects your preference.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
