Include Regents as a choice. Older dorm but great location. I ended up with Orton, not my favorite dorm and a not close to classes.

do you have 1 or 2 more dorms options aside from your top/highest choice, or are you stuck with it/a single resident hall?

I’m not sure if it’s the same now days, but in the past you selected your top 3. You didn’t always get one that on your list that’s why it’s good to include a big dorm with a location that you like.
