<p>Haha, sorry about the Chance Me. I'm an enrolled student already, so none of that "AGGH! I'm 10 and I only got a 33 on the ACT my last time... will I EVER get in to HPY???" here.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm totally in love with Snell-Hitchcock. I've heard it's hard to get in to, but how hard? I put it as my 1st choice and my housing materials were received January 31st (was admitted EA). Based on prior experience, is this early enough to get a spot there, or should I start weaning myself from planning a freshman year in S-H? (Or should I just get a life and not worry about it at all? :) )</p>
<p>Any advice/prior experience appreciated.</p>
<p>The housing system works in mysterious ways. I have friends who requested to be in S-H (and got in) up until April, so I really have no idea if it's first-come, first-served or not.</p>
<p>S-H is the dorm with, as some may argue, the most concentrated amounts of awesomeness, but the other dorms have their own personalities too. I think Snell-Hitchcock is desirable because it's classy and it's on the quads, but BJ is in better shape (and equally beautiful) and Max is equally convenient.</p>
<p>So good luck on getting the dorm you want, but even if you don't get it, you'll fall in love with whatever dorm you're living in.</p>
<p>i am hoping to get SH too! wish we can be dormmates gracello!</p>
<p>Going for SH as well, though I sent my stuff in on April 3ish.. RN for the loss.</p>
<p>aaaahhhh S-H!!! I want.</p>
<p>me toooo. armadillos rock.</p>
<p>GAAH yeah, S-H peeps!
I still need a hip roommate, though...</p>
<p>I hope you do, gracello, because I put Snitchcock first and my application was received Feb. 2! I'm a girl, and a light sleeper, so I'm hoping for a single.</p>
<p>S-H won the SCAV HUNT!!! victorious again</p>
<p>Snitchcock <em>is</em> wonderful: fun is definitely alive and kicking. My son has greatly enjoyed the people, ambiance and location in his two years there. I suspect he will be back to visit next year - he will be an RA at another house, so that will be quite a change!</p>
<p>Although I hope that all of you get your first choices - as other have said, all the houses have something special going for them. And, if your house doesn't suit you, there's this thing called the housing lottery .... that I won't even try to describe... that lets people switch around for the following year.</p>
<p>One suggestion - when you get your housing assignment in, I think, July - one of the roommates should arrange to bring a fan. There will be some warm days in September, and Hitch does not have AC.</p>
