Welcome to this forum. It must be an exciting prospect to have your son choose UA, congrats!
Housing selection has changed a bit this year since there are more students enrolling. Is he in the Honors College? Is he a NMF?

All freshmen are guaranteed housing so he will have a spot. The rush for housing is so that students can get an early selection time, and get their preferred housing options. However, there are so many good options, that I would not be too concerned, as long as he is a little flexible about choices.

Remind him to check his Crimson email account frequently, that is the main way to receive communication. If he is busy with senior year activities, volunteer to keep tabs on it for him.

There are facebook groups he can join to try and find roommates. A roommate with an earlier “pick” time than him could pull him into a suite.
