I am planning on rooming with an athlete during my season. Is that a question they ask on the roommate questionare and take high priority in or should I be finding an athlete on social media and then requesting them as my roommate when I fill out the survey?
This question is worded a little weird, but if I understand it correctly, you are asking whether or not athletes can room with other athletes that are not in their own sport during their playing season. Your roommate will not change throughout the year typically. You can choose to live with anyone that you choose. Your sport may have stricter policies.
Are the floors in Blitman coed or singlesex?
Blitman is coed
Do you know anything about applying for special interest housing (ie. DArts House, Leadership House, etc.)? And if so, do you know how this would affect roommate assignments? Thank you so much!

Are the wardrobes built in next to each other along the wall, as shown on the floor plan? And, do you have any photos of the #17-block with how students set up and accommodate for the smaller space? I imagine lofting is a good idea for both roommates who share these doubles.

Sage Dining Hall is the closest dining hall to North Hall. Sage Beanery is located in Sage Laboratories and is the closest food area, though they close at 3 pm.
I was curious if you enter BARH on the First Floor in every wing or are there different entrances for each wing. I am in wing A this fall on the 4th floor, so I was hoping I didn’t have to walk up that many stairs everyday.
In previous years each residence hall only has one entrance. I know for BARH they were considering multiple entrances due to size, but I do not know the status of that decision. I would call Residence Life and ask.

One of the Barton pictures show a room with three raised beds, instead of a bunk bed and lofted bed set up. I’m assigned one of the larger Barton rooms. Is it now possible to have all the beds unlofted? Can my roommates and I do it ourselves?
Barton rooms are all the same size, give or take a couple square feet. They’re all triples, and they’re all three raised beds by default. The bunk and lofted bed setup was used before last school year. You can still opt to bunk two of the beds or loft any of them, but there’s a fee associated with doing so—I can’t remember the fee off the top of my head, but it was something around the $150 mark
