[quote=Anonymous]One good thing about UVa upperclass housing now (since maybe 1990) is that if one is happy with one’s upperclass housing assignment, then one can stay in the same room and same building for the following year. In the late middle ages, UVa did not let one do that. So students who wanted to live on-grounds had to re-enter the housing lottery de novo every year. People usually could not stay the same place (because the person’s lottery number determined who got their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice). There also was no guarantee of receiving any on-grounds housing. Some students might go to a wait list for housing, which usually cleared, but often cleared in mid-late summer (and waitlist students tended to get the worst housing).[/quote]
