I’m an ED1 student, so you may want to disregard this. Sorry it’s long.

I was reading an article in the hatchet, from a few years ago, and dorms on Foggy Bottom are definitely tight. It said that after all of the ED1 and ED2 had chosen dorms, there were only 2 doubles left on Foggy Bottom that needed filled. We’ve had a few housing rearrangements since then, but I doubt your odds are that good. However, you can (and should) still list Madison as your #1 choice. Also, it’s worth noting that Madison is still considered the Athlete’s dorm, considering its close proximity to the student gym.

Other than that, if you’re really unhappy wtih the dorm you get put in, GW does have a room transfer service that opens up 3 weeks in to the school year.

Lastly, I’d like to put in a word for Lafayette. It’s just as well located as Madison, a small dorm, and it’s the newest renovated dorm on campus. I’ve heard it’s beautiful. That’s all. ^^
