<p>Was anyone stupid like me and chose Jester first, hahah?</p>
<p>I think I chose:
1. Jester W (Less renovated)
2. Jester E (More renovated)
3. Moore-hill
4. Brackenridge
5. Prather</p>
<p>Anyone with similar choices?</p>
<p>You can still change your choices, I hope you know.</p>
<p>How/where do you go to view/change your housing selection?</p>
<p>Go to your My Housing page, <a href=“Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request”>Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request;
<p>I can’t find that part. Do you have to pay the 200 dollar fee before you can do this? Because I’m waiting until I visit all of my schools before I make a decision. If I wait am I screwed for on campus housing?</p>
<p>I think you’ll be fine–Jester is kind of awesome.</p>
<p>Yeah I still don’t see it. I’ve paid the $50 housing fee but not the $300, the only selection I’m able to make is Shared or Single.</p>
<p>EDIT: I’m a CAP student who will be attending UT starting Fall 2011 if that matters</p>
<p>Hey AltexPape, I’m just as crazy! I put:</p>
<ol>
<li>San Jacinto (which I figure is probably a stretch at this point, but why not?)</li>
<li>Jester West</li>
<li>Jester East</li>
<li>Moore-Hill</li>
<li>Prather/Brackenridge/Roberts</li>
</ol>
<p>I honestly think living in Jester will be fun!</p>
<p>the same thing is happening to me,Borb.
I made my payment like 2 days ago, maybe we have to wait couple days to see that option?</p>
<p>I made my $50 payment months ago</p>
<p>You don’t get to pick your housing preferences until you pay the $200 admission deposit. Then (within a day or two) you will be issued a housing contract and can make your selections. From what I’ve read your spot on the housing master list (like who goes where) is determined by a combination of when you payed the $50 and when you payed the $200.</p>
<p>Room assignments are made based on when you paid your $50. They are made in housing application date order.
After you have a housing contract you can choose your hall preferences. CAP students are offered much later in the year after they are admitted.</p>
<p>I chose jester west then jester east; it’s everything I need/want because:</p>
<p>-Jester is cheaper than the newer dorms like San Jan</p>
<p>-It’s got everything in the building (food, lounges, gym, etc)</p>
<p>-I could care less about private vs public bathrooms </p>
<p>-Apparently Jester is the social hotspot</p>
<p>-Building off the previous bullet, while being around so many people may seem distracting for times when I need to work, I have enough self-control to get work done plus the library is close</p>
<p>-I like the fact that it’s a “central location”</p>
