If you can, see if there's a room facing the 'interior courtyard' when you check-in. You already requested a few things so I would only ask at check-in since I know listing more requests makes it less likely that you'll get them. But my reason for this is that when we stayed at ASMu in February, our room was a no-smoking, 3rd floor, corner room in Calypso (the one on the right as you look towards the rooms from the main building). It was the end corner of the building, closest to Jazz, but it was a great location. It was so much fun to be able to look out of our window and see families and happy little kids running from their rooms towards the bus stops every morning. It was our 3rd room there (1st one smelled of new paint which didn't work well for my asthma, even though it was the best room available in my opinion--corner closest to main building on 3rd floor of the other Calypso building; 2nd room faced the parking lot and just didn't have that excitement you get from watching others head out to the parks). Having a corner, 3rd floor room made it very quiet too, with only having 1 neighbor, but we stayed in middle rooms in Movies and Sports and didn't have any difficulties with noise. Also, being further from the elevators made a great walk back to the room, since we'd get to see all the cute towel animals in the windows on our way to our room.
