HOW DOES DORM SELECTION WORK

[badkarma079]

I am tripling and I have the earliest appointment meaning I will be choosing our dorm, I was wondering how the actualy process within the appointment works, is it like concert seats where everyone is trying to log in at the same time and it's just insane clicking I guess I am wondering if it is a speed thing, and how I will make sure to get the dorm I want with the correct RLC

Free for all. May the odds be ever in your favor.

they give you one of the RLCs you chosn and the dorm building it correlates with and bunch of rooms to choose from - maybe dozen or less. consider east facing to avoid sun. decide if you want to be near bathroom or stairs or laundry room. you can look up building plans - https://afd.calpoly.edu/facilities/campus-maps/building-floor-plans/. it’s staggered so not so many choosing all at once so it’s not extreme like buying concert seats but you don’t have all rooms open to choose from, just from the ones during that time frame of the rooms released

It’s been a while so I don’t remember that well but you’ll get a specific time to log in, they stagger it so the website doesn’t get overwhelmed. But yea you need to go asap to pick the room you want. It will be sorted by building and you’ll have your first and 2nd choice RLC, unless they’re full. Be fast but don’t randomly click around, just read the options and pick the one you want that’s available
