<p>FountainSiren,
I would not go as far as to say that you are guaranteed to be placed any where because each year it is a matter of supply and demand. If there are a lot of people applying to sub-free this fall, and the spaces are limited, everyone is not going to get into those dorms (daughter has a lot of freinds who applied to EW last year and are living on the river and in the choates). While housing is guaranteed for freshmen, know one really knows if the confiuration of housing is going to change from year to year depending on the needs of the student body.
Butterfield is for upperclassemen, only it you request Sub-Free, right now Russel-Sage houses freshmen in sub free dorms.</p>
<p>the first year configuration is as follows: </p>
<p>[ul]
[li]1st floor 4 rooms there are 2 male/2 female -(2 room triples ) triples for women) total 12 people</p>[/li]
<p>[li]2nd Floor 4 rooms 2 male/2 female-(2 room triples ) total 12 people</p>[/li]
<p>[li]3rd floor 3 rooms 1/ male 2 female (2 room triples) total 9 people</p>[/li]
<p>[li]4th floor 5 rooms 3 male/2 female (2 room triples) total 15 people</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]</p>
<p>P.S. Athena is going to be working in freshmen housing over the summer. She can probably give you more insight has the year goes on.</p>
