If I remember correctly, you get sorted as to how you rank the areas, the number of people you want to live with, and if you want to live in a certain specialty community. If you want to live in Segundo, most of the rooms are doubles, but next year there will also be a fair amount of triples due to the increased number of freshmen coming into the school. If you came on Preview Day, you probably went into one of the Segundo North buildings. Some communities are building-based and some are floor-based. Those are floor-based and it was probably housing all Integrated Studies majors. Anyway, specialty communities take precedence over are. For example, if you want to live in the Asian Pacific American Themed House, but you wanted to live in Segundo, you'd end up in Tercero, because that's where APATH is. Not all floors/buildings have themes to them. Most don't to be honest and includes a majority of Segundo as well as the other areas of Tercero and Cuarto. If being in a themed-styled hall is something that looks appealing to you, then go for it. If not, then don't worry about it. Either way, you'll be surrounded by a really good group of people. I didn't tour the campus or really think aout specialty communities, but I didn't really know about them when I was a freshman. I just looked online at the areas and had Segundo as my #1 choice, then in August I found out that I actually got into Ryerson, which is one of the high-rise buildings in Segundo. I'm rambling, but the point I want to get across is that it's not really where you live that makes your year, but more so the people you surround yourself with and if you choose to make your first year at college a great one. I hope I could help.
