Did You Know?
- The odds of a student getting housing are all based on a lottery system. Pay your deposit, receive a letter with a lottery number, attend the bidding, and you either have your first pick or are left searching for an apartment and a roommate.
- Out-of-state students are not given preferential treatment for housing! As many times as the administration has responded to this dilemma, incoming students still find it hard to swallow. As it may be, all students who apply for housing are given an equal chance at the "lottery." Out-of-state students feel they should have an edge because they can't commute. In-state (especially in-city) students feel that if they don't want to live at home, they shouldn't have to.
- You can be a resident adviser; though it is a very competitive position, those who are chosen speak very highly of it and have the bonus of living on campus for free. It's also good to help the freshmen adjust to campus life. A negative aspect is all the time you spend in the dorms. You are there for your residents at any cause, which can be seen as a good or bad thing. Keep in mind that it is a job, and you have to be committed to it like any other responsibility.
