Anyone else not receive a housing assignment yet?

<p>We have been all paid up for the fall 2012 semester for weeks now, but still haven’t received a housing assignment which initially went out in late June. The people at Housing continue to gives us dates when we’ll receive an assignment, but those dates have come and gone 3 different times. At this point, we’re looking back at the other schools whose offer of acceptance he declined. Are we the only incoming freshman having this problem, or is this systematic of how BU has accepted more students than they have space?</p>

<p>I don’t have mine but I’m a transfer student</p>

<p>Hey I’m a transfer too and I just got mine this morning, I was put in a Bay State Brownstone in a single :(</p>

<p>I’m a transfer student and in a Bay state road brownstone single too.</p>

<p>Same here. But mine was an apartment rather than a single room</p>

<p>FinallyFound,</p>

<p>My son is in a suite in Myles and is looking to switch to a single in a Brownstone. Would you be interested in doing a direct swap?</p>

<p>I knew a few people last year that didn’t receive their housing assignments until late, but I’ve never heard of anyone not getting one. It’s probably due to sending in the survey and deposit late, because I think they do it in the order they receive those in. You are guaranteed a spot, so no matter what you will be placed in a dorm.</p>

<p>@giantmidget which one are you in? I got put into the Trustee Scholars house… and apparently you need to be enrolled in the program to get into the house and I didn’t apply for that -___-</p>

<p>@finallyfound</p>

<p>I’m in the Trustee Scholar’s house too. I’m not in the program either, so I guess they just put people where they had space left. </p>

<p>I’m in SMG as well.</p>

<p>It seems like so many people are unhappy with their assignments…I’m so anxious to get mine!</p>

<p>You should be getting your housing assignment soon… weren’t the fees due yesterday or something? You can’t really pay without knowing what your room assignment is</p>

<p>yeah I had to pay already anyway. and microfridge orders are due the 16th!</p>

<p>You should call up housing and see why they haven’t put yours up yet! Everyone’s should be up by now at least… we have like 19 days till we move in (I’m assuming you’re going to session 8 orientation since you’re a transfer)</p>

<p>They have space for everyone, so don’t worry. It isn’t even on an “you’ll get worse housing the longer you wait” basis. Other than the inconvenience of not knowing, finding out late has no huge disadvantage. </p>

<p>Every year, this happens to some incoming freshmen. It’s just a matter of a late deposit. I’ve heard of people finding out housing one and a half to two weeks before school even. That being said, it doesn’t hurt to shoot them an email at least (<a href=“mailto:housing@bu.edu”>housing@bu.edu</a>).</p>

<p>I actually did email them and didn’t get a response. That was a while ago. And finallyfound I went to session 7 already, thats the main transfer orientation. At orientation they told us they were fixing assignments for freshman who were unhappy with their rooms before giving the rest of the transfers housing…</p>

<p>Sad to see us transfers in the bottom of the housing food chain.</p>

<p>You will get housing don’t worry =(!!! If you pay the deposit they have to give you housing. This is really weird cause I got my housing and so did ipod and we are all transfers!</p>

<p>Well I did pay my deposit the last day possible and I met a lot of people at orientation who didn’t have housing yet either…I called housing and they said I’d have my assignment by the 15th but no sign of it yet!</p>

<p>Good luck elephant9. I hope they let you know soon, after all i am pretty sure housing is guaranteed for 4 years in BU.</p>
