<p>I’ll answer IvyH20 and Cangel-</p>
<p>Ivy: as far as I know, I’ve never seen a room in EW where you actually have two beds in one room. You may have a door connecting to another room and one of the rooms gets walked through- but the chances of actually ever having to share a room I think are 0. I may be wrong, that’s just from what I’ve seen.</p>
<p>Cangel- As far as I’m aware, Cohen and Little are both sub free. I wasn’t aware that the Fayers are considered sub free. As far as living on a not-so-friendly floor…I mean, sometimes it just doesn’t work out, and that will happen anywhere, but I do agree she will have a better chance of meeting people in her own building. At the same time- none of my closest friends live in my building, so friends don’t have to be based on that. I think it was you that previously mentioned you met your better friends in your clubs and activities, and I find that was the best for me as well.</p>
<p>Back to the substance thing. Substance Free really means nothing. I mean, Cohen and Little are each attached by a walkway to Bissell and Brown, which are not “sub free.” But I’ve definitely seen and consumed alcohol in every one of the buildings, and the fayers as well. They’re just termed that way, and granted they are often a bit quieter…people don’t really adhere to that policy. </p>
<p>As far as “her best shot…” at getting a sub free floor in the choates and the river, I would say it is to write on the housing application straight out: “I want to live on a substance free floor in the choates or the river.” (I really recommend the choates for their proximity to campus in comparison to the river). My friend really wanted to live in the choates and wrote that on his application, and he now lives in Brown. I think double vs. single is pretty random and I don’t know how to go about suggesting a way to get a single or double in the choates or river. River rooms tend to have walls dividing doubles- whereas in the choates that is never the case. It’s either a single, or a room with two beds. I hope that helps.</p>
