<p>If I submit my housing deposit and application within a week from today, April 21, what are the chances that I will get my first choice, a double in the Richmond Quadrangle in the Ellicott complex?</p>
<p>If anyone can help me by giving me any answers, past experiences or whatever you can, it will be very appreciated.</p>
<p>I honestly couldn’t give you any guarantee, but I will tell you about what happened when I was coming to UB. </p>
<p>I made my decision late, and submitted my housing deposit on May 1st. I got into a quad in Wilkeson by the skin of my teeth. I ended up in the quad (which is what I wanted) because another student decided last minute that he didn’t want to live in Ellicott. </p>
<p>With that being said, you may or may not get into a double in Ellicott, you might get a quad or a triple. Either way, it really isn’t a big deal - learning to deal with people is a big part of living in the dorms. Also the building that you live in is also, not a huge deal. Ellicott is Ellicott. Granted, my situation happened back in 2007, lots has probably changed. Regardless, you will make due with whatever living situation you end up in. I know many people who got placed on south, only to end up liking it a lot.</p>
<p>Thanks for your answer. Can anyone else tell me any past experiences?</p>
<p>Past experiences will likely not apply because they are opening Greiner Hall this Fall, exclusively for sophomores. This will open up lots of spots in Ellicot.</p>
<p>2007- My son decided late and ended up on South campus. But as everyone told us, he loved it there. Not much of a hassle with the buses. He and his friends he made there moved to Ellicot this (soph) year, for convenience.</p>
