Denzera, I choose you!

<p>I know you're the housing holy man and lord knows I need the advice.</p>

<p>Rising junior with a really, really crappy number (2965). In two words or less; HELP.</p>

<p>a) What is my range of choices with that number? </p>

<p>b) Any other options to circumvent the system? (I know we're past the deadline for Barnard housing but I heard you could get on the waitlist for students who go study abroad. Please let this be true)</p>

<p>c) What's the number for the Columbia depression hotline?</p>

<p>d) Can I still somehow, in some system fluke, get a good housing? By either trading numbers with someone else or getting in a suite if someone drops out of it?</p>

<p>....</p>

<p>my advice is to stop whining and take your wein single like a man</p>

<p>way to perpetrate social constructions of gender identity, shraf.</p>

<p>Never! </p>

<p>If I have to take it it will be struggling for freedom with tears down my face, pinned down to a pinball machine while rednecks watch.</p>

<p>^ ***???</p>

<p>Yeah although undisclosed needs to relax, Shraf needs to relax even more. It wasn’t that serious to make that comment.</p>

<p>Haha. Oh, Jodie.</p>

<p>…ummm…i was joking…</p>

<p>though the housing lottery is in fact no laughing matter</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>you’re a fun person aren’t you.</p>

<p>not particularly. mostly, I’m just a rational human being.</p>

<p>^ever able to rationalize sarcasm?</p>

<p>There are exactly two rooms that are…great in Wein.</p>

<p>Denzera knows. 1223-1224.</p>

<p>Any chance for them with these numbers. Be honest I can take it.</p>

<p>if they are in fact “great” then no (are those the ones with roof access by any chance?)</p>

<p>many rising juniors pick wein over broadway and schapiro so i’m assuming the “great” rooms would go first and won’t trickle down to your number</p>

<p>Then what will?</p>

<p>Logistically, what are my good options. :(</p>

<p>I’m losing wood fast here, guys. Err…hope I mean.</p>

<p>Yo, I was in Wein my junior year. It wasn’t that bad. Ok, it was. But the only reason why it wasn’t htat terrible was bc I was on the same floor as my biffles. (Biffles = BFF, but I made it a word. Ok my biffle did)</p>

<p>

Well sure - if you’re a group of 4, or maybe two groups of 2.</p>

<p>Otherwise, your options are as follows:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Be lucky to pick a Wien single</p></li>
<li><p>File a Summer Transfer request, requesting Broadway or Schapiro singles</p></li>
<li><p>File a Summer Transfer request with 4 fellow juniors, requesting a 5-BR Plimpton suite (you thought this might be a good idea)</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Are you in general selection or as part of a group?</p>

<p>Denzera! I’m in General Selection.</p>

<p>The more I read about it the more I think that summer transfer is my best shot. As a 20/2965 rising junior what sort of decision can I expect? </p>

<p>Do they offer you options in the summer transfer (single, double, building…) or is it just a definitive housing assignment sent to you by email? (I have a wet dream of getting a Watt studio through some twist o’ the summer transfer system)</p>

<p>Also…What’s Plimpton? :confused: I didnt’ even know we could sign up for summer housing as a group…</p>

<p>2965 as a lottery number doesn’t exist, are you sure you exist?</p>

<p>I rounded up to a close number because I didn’t want to be disclosed (pun-tastic) should a stalkering mind decided to look my UNI up in the directory and then facebook.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>^yeah good call, you’re identity is still greatly narrowed depending on the rounding.</p>
