USC freshmen housing question

I’m an incoming freshman and listed my preferences for USC, but didn’t get any of the ones I wanted. I got a suite where it’d be a double, 8 people, and have 2 bathrooms. It’s part of the International Residential College (IRC).

I’m not an international student, and I’d have to share a bathroom with most likely 3 others, so I’m not exactly thrilled. Though the suite does have AC.

I’m not sure what I should do. Should I accept the offer, accept then request reassignment, or decline and live home (30-40 minutes driving)?

I honestly don’t know much about IRC either. If anyone has experience from this or knows anything about IRC please let me know! Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Edit: I forgot to mention that IRC tends to be more “isolated” compared to the other housing options on campus, so I’m a bit nervous if I’ll be able to make friends. I’m not extremely social but I’m not antisocial either.
