<p>Anyone know when Freshman dorm assignments are sent? Just feels like hanging in limbo since orientation isn't until end of August, and no word on roommates, dorm assignments. Daughter is ready to transition into a college girl yet not much she can do at this point.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I read that the kids would be notified in mid-July. So, I would assume any day.</p>
<p>Housing Assignments and Roommates are up...Banner, Student Records, Housing, Fall Assignments</p>
<p>She's in Fauquier...third floor. Anyone with opinions on Botetourt Complex dorms?</p>
<p>My daughter is in Nicholson, third floor. Also Botetourt. They are supposed to be the least desirable dorms on the campus. Did you daughter request a small/coed dorm?</p>
<p>her top choices were Dupont, Yates, and Barrett...... her roommate isn't on myspace or facebook.</p>
<p>D will be trying myspace and facebook later tonight. If that fails I guess she'll do e-mail. She's anxious to make contact before shopping in earnest. Good luck to your D...sounds a bit like mine.</p>
<p>thanks for letting me know that the dorm assignments were up, smdur. I wouldn't have known if you hadn't posted.</p>
<p>good luck with your room assignment, datkid. Guess the next big hurdle is class registration.</p>
<p>The Botetourt dorms are most certainly the least desirable. But in the end, you'll become really close to your dormmates as you bond over your lousy location, no air conditioning, narrow hallways, poor lighting, and of course the roaches. On the positive side, your rooms are of decent size, and you have nice big desks.</p>
<p>Really, it's not as bad as it sounds, I was third-floor Fauquier too, and I survived. It's true that the people you live with will make the experience more than something petty like air conditioning. You might argue otherwise for the first two sweltering weeks, but you'll see what I mean soon enough.</p>
<p>How about Brown? There hasn't been much talk about it at all, other than it's being lumped into the "less desirable" group. Can anyone throw out a few generalizations about it?</p>
<p>Thank you, smdur1970, for the info...I never would have found the assignment without your posting.</p>
<p>S will be on the 3rd floor of Yates.</p>
<p>I'm on the 3rd floor of Monroe. And I couldn't find my roommate on facebook either. </p>
<p>I've heard that Brown is not bad, but it's a little farther away. You're kind of in Colonial Williamsburg.</p>
<p>Daughter has an international student as a roommate...guess why she couldn't locate her. Going to be interesting. Now looking for some room basics as her roommate will not be able to bring much with her. Fortunately, her aunt's family leases much of the student housing at another university. Has a storeload of dorm leftovers for the taking.</p>
<p>Thanks, momray. I'll also be in Botetourt...</p>
<p>My son will be in Yates 1st floor.</p>
<p>I'm first floor Yates namtrag, what's your son's name?</p>
<p>his name is Dale, his roommate is Robert from Md</p>
<p>cool, I'm Alex room 115, I'm sure I'll be seeing him</p>
<p>My younger son was in Yates his freshman year -- loved it. Reasonably good location, just across from "the Caf" (foodservice), trees out the window to promote tranquility during study breaks and even air conditioning: what's not to like?</p>
