Housing tries to keep transfers somewhat together in U2, so that it’s easier for them to meet people and integrate into the community. It would be highly unlikely for you to be the only transfer on your floor.

If you’re in a triple (and assuming that you are in a high rise, not a mini-suite), you will either be in one of four corner rooms or a converted triple. As the corner rooms are marginally larger than the other rooms in the hall, they are the designated triple rooms. Unfortunately, the converted triples are what they sound like–double rooms with extra furniture. As Housing has experienced something of a surplus this past year, hopefully they will have cut back on the number of converted triples so that the odds of you receiving a corner triple are higher. :/

And as my boyfriend lived in a U2 corner triple his freshman year, I just have three pieces of advice for you: (1) Don’t bring what you don’t need–seriously, (2) Keep your windows open, (3) Buy an air freshener anyways.
