<p>From housing’s website, it sounds like they want to switch Branner over starting next year. But they’ve been talking about that for a while, so that doesn’t mean it’ll happen. I believe the triples are becoming doubles when it switches, which means extra housing space has to be found elsewhere, so I would think it’ll switch over as soon as Crothers is renovated. Construction projects, of course, rarely go on schedule.</p>
<p>Contrary to what kyledavid says, Roble is actually fairly centrally located. It’s not as close to the libraries as the Escondido Road dorms (Wilbur/Stern/Branner/Toyon/Manzanita/Crothers), but it’s pretty convenient to the Quad and engineering buildings. And while FroSoCo is far away, the distance is actually quite tolerable as long as you have a bike. It’s also a very nice dorm, with the best dining hall on campus. FroSoCo is the only place where frosh can get two-room doubles.</p>
