<p>I emailed Scholars the same question for my son. Here is their reply:</p>
<p>"He is guaranteed housing in Chestertown Hall. Rooming with his friend will be up to Resident Life. He will be able to pull his friend into Scholars housing only of there is sufficient spacing in Chestertown.The office of Resident Life may be able to give you a more direct answer but I am sure that there numbers are still unsettled as the deadline for notification is May 1. There is contact information in the link below.</p>
