it's a new course wif new building. 
as for ur chance for applying hall... 100% can get in. since they
will give 1st priority for freshies. even if u applied late, the
sch will try to allocate a place for u.
as for subsequent years of staying, now is different from past as
cca point is apolish. they will give priority for oversea students,
students who stay far away from the sch, or final year student who
nvr get chance to live in hall before.
