-I think if you put it as your first choice you’ll have a pretty good chance of getting in there. Just make sure to put Pollock (or something else) as your second choice if you don’t want to be in a non-SLO East room.
-I don’t think so, they’re just organizational. I’d email them just in case though.
-I have a friend in FISE in Pennypacker, and he said that’s it’s a lot of “foreign and weird kids”, which ironically made it easier for him to make friends with the normal people there. It’s generally known as the weird dorm.

FISE encompasses three different colleges, whereas the other two are just Engineering majors. From what I know, there are a decent amount of freshmen there: you won’t be the only one, but by no means is it all freshmen.

You’re right, East is far far away from where most of your classes will be (unless you’re a business major). I’d get to know the bus system (CATA) as those can be your best friend. Also consider bringing a bike, though there are pros and cons to that too. And it’s probably a fifteen minute walk to the HUB from East.
