<p>Do you get to choose your freshman dorm or is it random lol?</p>
<p>Some info would be nice.</p>
<p>You will get to list your preferences for dorms when you register for housing. Since Thurston is the largest freshman residence,(about 1000 students live there) if you list Thurston as your first choice it’s pretty likely that you will get placed there.</p>
<p>Kay thanks, I didn’t get my financial aid packet yet, and that’s pretty much what I’m waiting for before I make my decision to go to GWU. Will that wait hinder my chances of getting into Thurston?</p>
<p>And can I pay a deposit now and then take it out if I don’t feel like going anymore?</p>
<p>No, I believe deposits are non-refundable. But you have a good chance at getting into Thurston. It’s the biggest freshman dorm.</p>
<p>Not everyone wants Thurston because some people find it to be “over the top” and the rooms a bit more crowded (6 in some rooms). Based on that, you may not have a hard time getting in there.</p>
<p>there are about 10 spaces for you to list the order of what dorms you want. DO NOT FILL OUT ALL TEN! put thurston upper and lower as your first two, then maybe put two other choices to be safe. don’t put a dorm you dont want on the list. for example, pretty much all girls who put strong anywhere on their list were put there.</p>
<p>Besides Thurston , which are athe other freshman dorms that are nice? I think more than 4 in a room would be way tooo many for me.</p>
<p>My frien went las year as a freshman and signed ONLY for thurston, got it and on top of it got a double which is a rarity!</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely don’t want more than one roommate. I do like the party atmosphere though… Any dorm suggestions for me?</p>
