<p>Current sophomore here at Tech.</p>
<p>Housing:
Yes, we do get to choose our dorm preferences, but the chances of actually getting the one you chose isn’t guaranteed. They occasionally overbook (such as this past year) and ask kids to move off-campus in return for a small stipend and guaranteed on-campus housing next year.</p>
<p>The one you choose really depends on what you more concerned with (partying, studying, etc.) If you want to party, I heard O’Shaugnessy has some pretty wild parties (the cops occasional have to come). Personally, I like a quite dorm. I’m in Miles Hall, and I like it. If you’re in honors, definitely apply for the housing at East AJ (or Hillcrest, but it’s on a fairly annoying hill).</p>
