Many factors affect which housing option you should choose. Your decision should be made based on the building's location, bathroom options, roommate matching options, room size, price and whether or not you are guaranteed placement into the room when you sign up.
That may be possible, depending on the time of year and whether or not the school is currently accepting cancellations of signed contracts. Please call one of our housing specialists for more information about making changes to your Housing Contract.
