<p>In terms of residence options, your S will only have 4 options when choosing a residence hall. Traditional, First-Year, Program, or Co-op. </p>
<p>Most of the dorms on campus are traditional dorms, and many of those dorms also house the program houses. So even if you choose traditional, students often get placed in the same dorm that a program house is in. </p>
<p>There are two first-year dorms - Dascomb and Barrows. There’s no option to choose either one. </p>
<p>Then there are 4 different live-in co-op options - Harkness, Keep, Tank and Old B. This is the only time you get to rank/choose your residence choice. </p>
<p>Hope that helps somewhat. I personally stayed clear from the first-year dorms and went with the co-ops.</p>
