[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify.  My son was admitted in November of last year and for his deposit in and what we thought was an early slot to choose. His choices were a dorm not close to campus that previously was private apartments that the school took over.

I am just trying to be honest here. We love the school.  If you aren’t admitted until spring you will have issues.  Best thing to do is stay a single because singles do open up as people decline.

The OP asked for the cons too. This is one. But no reason not to go.  The stats are the stats.  Many freshman were not able to get on campus [/quote]

We went on a tour at Auburn and they told us to submit the housing deposit with the application. You don't have to be admitted to do so, and it wasn't a huge amount of money (I forget how much).  Got the same advice at Texas, FWIW. [/quote]

This is false. You have to be admitted. You don’t have to have accepted though.

Can you imagine the ridiculous inefficiency of everyone who applied could enter the lottery system.

U less things changed this year. You get admitted. You get a slot to submit an application.  In spring you get a slot to go in and choose a dorm. [/quote]

They've changed it then. But even with the current system, they're going to get housing deposits from accepted kids that decide not to attend & those don't go into the lottery.  It's not inefficient for the school at all -- the lottery is just kids that have accepted & they keep the housing deposits of the kids that choose to go elsewhere.[/quote]
