<p>Well I’d be lying if I said I don’t have preferences for the college I’d like to be in if accepted, but that isn’t the reason I asked. As a transfer student, the concern is more about the availability of housing than it is about the actual college assigned. From what I’ve read and heard, a lot of transfer students at Rice end up having to live off campus due to a lack of space on campus. I don’t really think I’d like to do that. I’m currently in a commuter school, and hate commuting; it takes away from the college experience. I figure if I were placed into one of the newer colleges (Duncan or McMurtry), there is probably a higher chance of landing a room on campus. Thus, if I were admitted and told at the time of admission that I was placed in one of those two, I will have more reason to pick Rice over another school.</p>
