Housing Lottery
So today was the day that we were supposed to receive our lottery numbers for housing next year. But, something happened within res life and now we don’t get to find out until tomorrow! Then on Thursday we actually pick which apartment building we want. This was a whole new situation for me, and I wasn’t quite sure how everything with the lottery and housing contracts really worked. Moving into Somers was really easy because each step was really specific and it was all laid out. Applying for apartments wasn’t that much more difficult, but it was more complicated trying to find the specific person you wanted to live with, and one of my future roommates couldn’t even figure out where to go to get the contract. One thing I wish Res Life did a little bit more with was give us more information about housing next year because that was something that a lot of us worried about very early on. I’m hoping that everything within their office gets sorted out and my future roommates and I get a high number. We want to live in Cedar because that is one of the newest apartment buildings and it is really nice in there. The other apartments available to us sophomores next year are Pine, Willow, Maple, and Birch. Even if we don’t get into Cedar (which chances are we won’t), I won’t really care that much because I know that no matter where we are, my roommates and I will make it a really nice and fun place to live! 🙂
