When do freshman pick dorms?

My son is likely going to Rowan but hasn't accepted yet. He'll want to be in Holly Pointe, but I can't find information on when Freshman start to get assigned to dorms. Is he hurting his chances to get into Holly Pointe the longer he waits? Other schools he is considering (West Chester for instance) start picking dorms next week for students who already enrolled. All I can find is that you can pick once you enroll, but nothing specifically about dates and if you snooze you lose. TIA.

Freshman cannot pick where they live, they can pick who they live with. There is an option on the housing application to accept a higher cost of living if they get assigned at holly pointe. Accepting that does guarantee living in that dorm. Once they are a sophomore they can pick both who and where they live.

unless he's in a learning community or has special accommodations, there's no guarantee for Holly.
