<p>I got on the music floor for A&H :D </p>
<p>Just have a few really strange questions....</p>
<p>One of our suitemates is 23 (we're all freshman) and doesn't match his roommate's or any of the suite's housing profiles, that a mistake right?</p>
<p>Secondly, how many suites or people are on each floor and is the second number of the room (1st being floor #) the side which your suite is on?</p>
<p>I’m wondering about the meaning of the room # too…</p>
<p>Is this suppose to happen? When i click you, it says your room has not been assigned while i have already paid 800 and finish the whole contract thing…and thus i can’t see my roommates. Also, for the select meal plan thing…there’s nothing to choose from…it just say please select. HELP!</p>
<p>Superdoo1, my son’s says it has not been assigned yet either. Did you pay the $800 today?</p>
<p>mc90604. the 23 year old is likely the RA on your hall.</p>
<p>He’s in a room with a 17 year old, I don’t think he’s the R.A. and he completed a profile description</p>
<p>Not everyone will be assigned right away. The date they were going to start assigning them is today, a lot of us just got them yesterday ahead of time.</p>
<p>Yes that seems a little strange. Maybe a 23 year old freshman? Superdoo, I discovered that even though under Room, it says not assigned for my son, where you click on the Application Term, there was a dorm and room # listed. Check yours.</p>
<p>The student could be a veteran. I would not start speculating until you find out more about the individual involved or if it might be an error.</p>
<p>Its strange not just because of his age, but his profile survey is the opposite for everyone in the room. I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before and about the second number in the rooms.</p>
<p>Hahaha hey! I know of this, go join the FB group everyone 
My reasoning is he was either in the hospital/medical treatment, or in the army.</p>
<p>Haha it feels cool that i now know who a few of you people out here are! :D</p>
<p>welcome to Parkside! 
it’s super nice here, I’ve loved living here.</p>
<p>there are about 50 people on the the green side (<em>2</em><em>, eg 2204) and 70 people on the yellow side (</em>3__, e.g. 1307) of each floor. First floor only has yellow. Yellow has two RAs and green has one. There’s also a faculty member on 1st yellow, 2nd green I think, and 4th yellow. </p>
<p>Dunno about the 23-year-old. I know this year there was maybe one suite of upperclassmen, but they all lived together. </p>
<p>Music floor is pretty tight knit, have fun! :D</p>
<p>People can start college at any age; some people are correct in saying he may be a veteran – but he could also be a community college transfer who is a music major, or maybe someone who was in the peace corps after high school or…</p>
<p>I’m sure it will be fine. People are matched up with “opposites” all the time when it comes to roommate assignments because there’s never going to be an equal number of “perfect” matches.</p>
<p>@wisdomsomehow Thanks for clearing that up! all of us were trying to speculate the sides haha.</p>
<p>I guess we’ll just see how this goes.</p>
<p>oh, also, in terms of the laundry room, I think Parkside’s is the only one like this, but you can pay for the machines with quarters or discresh. I think all the other buildings have special laundry cards and you can’t use discresh, but at Arts & Humanities, you can.</p>
<p>Found out what happened. He’s such a great student, the housing dept. allowed him to stay there as a “leader” for us. Cool, it’s going to be quite… interesting :)</p>
<p>My son is a non music major and got his first dorm pic which was the AH Music floor. He is planning on bringing his electric guitar and sax but I spoke with Thornton School of Music and they said instrument lockers are limited and there is no guarantee that the lockers will be available for non-music majors.</p>
<p>My question for former music floor residents, does AH have secure storage space on the music floor for instruments or do students just keep the instruments in their dorm room?</p>
<p>I didn’t live in a music floor, but everyone I knew (including myself) just kept our instruments in our dorm rooms. In all four years at USC, my boyfriend and I managed to keep a slew of guitars, a bass, synthesizers and large amps free from harm! (Except for the time I lost my keys, which in turn resulted in losing BOTH keys to my bass case…but that’s another story! Moral: keep multiple spare keys!)</p>
<p>Many of the lockers are in the practice spaces off campus since PIC was torn down and I don’t think you can have access to lockers unless you’re enrolled in a class that warrants practice space use, anyway. (?)</p>
<p>If your son is responsible and trusts his roommates (ie: everyone remembers to keep the doors locked, he leaves his guitar and sax case locked) there shouldn’t be an issue. When he moves out of the dorm, it should be easier to keep track of locked doors when there are less people passing through his apartment. Should be plenty of room to store both cases (if he has hard cases) under his bed.</p>
<p>Thanks, Zelda! My son is really excited about getting into Arts & Humanities!</p>
