DD just got accepted. She had never been on campus. We need to choose dorm in one day. Deposit is due on May 1st. Any ideas, advises?
Unless things have changed this year, you just put your housing deposit down now to get your spot on the list and you will pick the dorm later In the summer. They will pick dorm by order on the housing list. Since she is coming off the waitlist she will be far down on the list. Though, if she finds someone she wants to room with she can pick when their turn comes up if it is sooner than hers.
Any idea how students find roommates? Any specific forum, groups for GaTech freshman? Sorry I am totally illiterate in this. Probability of freshman from her HS is pretty much zero. Should she reach may be to area coordinator to find someone from our local area? (I am not sure that the best idea…)
There is a Facebook group for the class of 2024 that she can join that the students can seek out roommates. Also, when you fill out your housing request she can fill out preferences for a roommate that is searcable and will try and match students that they can contact as a possible roommate. There is also a fb group you can join called “Georgia Tech Current or potential Parents” that has very good information. Though, it is not directly affiliated with the school.
thanks you @racereer
