YZamyatin speaks the truth. I will add that my daughter and her roommate requested the popular 6 pack (2 yrs ago in the Leadership LLC) and didn’t get it. They were placed at FAR. They were really bummed, because they’re both in business and it’s far from BIF. However, they made the best of it. They were grateful for A/C when it was hot the first month of school. Also, the bus system is good.
In hindsight it wasn’t terrific, but it also wasn’t terrible. She learned the bus system well and since she became really involved in a couple of things, she used it more as a place to sleep, than a place to hang out. As a parent, I think it may have contributed to her desire to keep active and not sit around a dorm room watching tv. Everything worked out well. As everything in life, it’s what you make of it.
Good luck on getting your dorm preference.
